Vitoria vs CRB Live Stats & Betting Odds
Vitoria Prediction – Can Vitoria continue ascendency?
13th placed Vitoria currently occupy a place in the bottom half of the Brazilian second tier but the hosts are seemingly on the rise as Vitoria have put together a promising 4-match sequence withiut defeat in Serie B which includes recent wins against Ponte Preta and Brasilia.
In addition, Vitoria have picked up useful points in draws with Figueirense and Parana in recent weeks too which has helped lift Tuesday night’s hosts up into a more respectable looking 13th place on the Serie B ladder.
Indeed, recent results have taken a definite turn for the better for Vitoria who have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 9 league matches overall, which was a surprise 1-0 loss at home to Londrina, but an overall home record of 6-6-5 19/15 looks reasonable enough.
In fact, Vitoria have lost just 2 of their last 13 matches on home turf at their Estádio Manoel Barradas havign started the season in disastrous fashion, losing their first 3 home matches on the trot, so the hosts have certainly picked up their game.
CRB Prediction – Can CRB improve fortunes on the road?
7th placed CRB have also put together a decent run of results in the Brazilian second tier as they’ve lost just 1 of their last 6 matches, but this defeat was a significant loss in what was a 5-1 thrashing away at the hands of Cuiaba, although the visitors did record wins over Criciuma, Botafogo and Atletico GO during this period also.
Being pedantic, 2 of these 3 recent wins for CRB were achieved at their Estádio Rei Pelé while results away from home have seen a definite decline in recent weeks amidst an overall record of 8-3-6 21/19 so far this season.
CRB have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 6 matches on their travels in Serie B which was the aforementioned win at Criciuma, but defeats at America Mineiro, Guarani and the heavy 5-1 loss at Cuiaba don’t fill me with too much confidence ahead of this upcoming clash with Vitoria.
Then there’s the fact that they’ve failed to beat Vitoria in each of their last 5 meetings with their Tuesday night’s hosts, so this could be another tough trip for Marcelo Cabo’s side.
Key-Facts – Vitoria vs CRB

- CRB have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 6 away matches

Betting Tips Verdict
