Cruzeiro take on the visitors Vasco in the round 33 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 22nd at Mineirão (Belo Horizonte).
Cruzeiro or rather their fans, almost disrupted the match against Curitiba. To some extent, their frustration is understandable: their favorite team played against the bottom-placed team and was clearly expecting to add points to their tally. Instead, they conceded a goal in the 90+ minute, marking their third consecutive defeat. The ambitious club, having recently returned from Serie B, found itself in the relegation zone. The fans' anger was only subdued by the appearance of the police on the field. At least they managed to overcome Fortaleza with a 1-0 victory.

Vasco da Gama also cannot afford to relax. The "Giant of the Colina" resembles their upcoming opponent. It is also a historical giant of Brazilian football that has won almost everything possible. However, all their past successes date back to the last century, and they have been facing ever-growing problems recently. Both teams spent the previous season in Serie B and returned, with Vasco finishing in third place. Starting with a victory, the team quickly lost momentum in 2023, even experiencing a stretch of 10 defeats with only one win. However, they managed to turn things around from August. Moreover, all three November matches ended in victories for Vasco, providing them with the opportunity to escape the relegation zone. However, it is still very close, and a couple of setbacks could spoil everything.
In the previous season in Serie B, the teams exchanged home victories. In the current Brasileirao, in July, Cruzeiro won away thanks to a goal by Filipe Machado "in the locker room." The hosts will try to win again, but the visitors are in good form. Let's go with "total over 2.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
