Vitória in crisis after four straight defeats

Vitória is coming off four consecutive losses and is going through its worst run since 2024. The poor form led to the team's elimination from the Copa do Brasil by Vasco and brought them closer to the relegation zone. Last Thursday, club president Fábio Mota called a press conference to offer explanations and admitted to the bad situation, but guaranteed backing for manager Jair Ventura and the squad.

Grêmio maintains momentum after qualifying for Copa do Brasil semifinals

Grêmio arrives with momentum after qualifying for the Copa do Brasil semifinals with a convincing victory over their biggest rival. Additionally, they defeated Chapecoense in the previous round of the Brasileirão, which provided some breathing room. Currently, the team sits in 15th place with 28 points, but could open up a six-point gap from the relegation zone (Z-4) with a win.

Absentees and Vitória's probable lineup

Among the reasons given by Vitória's president for the poor form is the series of absences in recent matches. This Monday, the team has nine players out due to injury, in addition to defender Cacá, who is suspended. Given the situation, Wanderson, a left-back from the youth academy, was promoted to the first-team squad last Saturday.

• Brítez is expected to take Cacá's place, and Jamerson is the likely replacement for Ramon.
• Matheuzinho, who according to Jair Ventura is playing through pain due to physical issues, could make way for Pochettino.
• The manager could also make changes in attack, dropping Erick and Tarzia, but as a tactical choice.

Probable lineup: Lucas Arcanjo; Mateus Silva, Luan Cândido, Brítez and Jamerson; Zé Vitor, Caíque Gonçalves and Matheuzinho [Pochettino]; Erick [Marinho], Tarzia and Renato Kayzer.

Vitória's absentees

Cacá (suspended); Ramon, Baralhas, Martínez, Rúben Ismael, Camutanga, Edu, Dudu, Walace, and Nathan Mendes (injured); One yellow card away from suspension: Ramon, Cacá, Martínez, Marinho, Diego Tarzia, Renê, and Jair Ventura.
