Predictions & Betting Tips

EC Vitoria (home)

• Ventura’s side have been the better of the two teams over the past few months, but a crushing 4-0 defeat away to Red Bull Bragantino in their most recent matchup brings that form into question.
• Nonetheless, Vitoria have won 2 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches, beating Mirassol 2-0 at home, and earning an impressive 3-1 victory away to Sport Recife.
• Vitoria have been very solid at home, winning 8, drawing 6, and losing just 4 of their 18 home games in Serie A 2025.

Sao Paulo FC (away)

• Hernan Crespo took over Sao Paulo FC in June 2025 and has done a fantastic job with a very talented squad, who were already capable of playing an adaptive, flexible and attack-minded game.
