Bitesize Prediction: Vitoria vs Mirassol – 01/09/23

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Vitoria win

Odds: 21/20 @ 1xBet

Hoping to extend their buffer at the top of the Serie B standings late on Friday night, Vitoria will welcome Mirassol to the Barradao.

Starting with the hosts, while Vitoria might have been last seen having to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at Atletico Goianiense, the mood in Leo Conde’s camp still remains at a red-hot high. Continuing on a real Serie B purple patch this season, the Bahia-based outfit open this weekend’s fixtures holding a three-point buffer at the top of the table. Along with mustering seven points from their last three second-tier showdowns, the Colossal will certainly be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Breezing their way to a Serie A return in 2023, Vitoria have also suffered just a single defeat from any of their last nine straight contests – a run that stems all the way back to July 11th. It should also be noted, gaining a fearsome reputation for their remarkable success on home soil, Friday’s hosts have won all of their previous six appearances at the Barradao by an aggregate score of 10-2.

As for the visitors, although Mirassol might have signed off July with their sights set on mounting a shock late charge for the top-four, the Sao Paulo-based outfit have come crashing back down to earth in some style. Last seen putting in another worrying performance as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against Juventude, the Serie B returners are seeking a crucial boost. In fact, now losing each of their previous three straight appearances by an aggregate score of 5-1, the Yellows are without a single victory from any of their last five showdowns. Almost sat in second-tier limbo and in the midst of their longest winless over the past two months, Mirassol will certainly face a real challenge this weekend. With just one win to their name from their last six matchups on the road – a run that stems back to June 11th – a home victory can be found at appealing odds late on Friday night.
