Match Prediction: Vitória 1-1 São Paulo
Vitória will be looking to bounce back from their recent draw against Chapecoense, and with home advantage, they might just have the edge. Their defence, led by Ramon, will need to be solid against a São Paulo side that has shown they can score, as evidenced by their 4-1 win over Cruzeiro. Expect Vitória to focus on a tight defensive setup, looking to hit São Paulo on the counter.Vitória will be looking to bounce back from their recent draw against Chapecoense, and with home advantage, they might just have the edge.

São Paulo, on the other hand, will be buoyed by their recent victory and will aim to carry that momentum into this fixture. With Ferreirinha pulling the strings in midfield, they’ll look to control possession and create chances for Calleri up front. However, their away form has been patchy, which could be a concern.São Paulo, on the other hand, will be buoyed by their recent victory and will aim to carry that momentum into this fixture.
