Vitória Cruzeiro betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 8^th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 7 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Corinthians, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against São Paulo, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa do Brasil, they got an away win against Santos by (0‑1). In the last 8 away league matches Cruzeiro has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 6 of their 17 goals between (31'‑45').

Cruzeiro is a team that has already won the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship four times throughout their history, with the most recent titles being won in 2013 and 2014. In the current season, the team has been having an irregular but sufficient campaign to stay close of the first placed, being now three points behind the fourth placed Atletico Mineiro, having won 24 of the 48 points played so far in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship. In the last five matches that Cruzeiro played as a visiting team or for the national competition, in all of them there were scored less than 3.5 goals by the teams. We believe that in this match Cruzeiro will play again with a few goals, mainly because they’re playing away, where they usually have a more defensive proposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Ezequiel, Murilo Cerqueira, Marcelo Hermes, Manoel, Lucas Romero, Bruno Silva, Alejandro Cabral, Federico Mancuello, David da Fonseca, Rafael Sóbis.
Coach: N. Larcamón.
