Vitoria desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 11 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Sao Paulo come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Vitoria travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Sao Paulo won their last outing, while Vitoria suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Sao Paulo here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Vitoria. Their last encounter ended in Sao Paulo won 0–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sao Paulo a slight edge, but Vitoria are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
