Vasco arrive here bruised: two defeats in their last two Serie A outings, conceding seven goals to Palmeiras and Santos combined, and two key strikers in Jair and Brenner on the injury list. The crowd at São Januário can lift them in cups, but in the league this squad looks fragile right now. Cruzeiro, meanwhile, have not kept a single clean sheet in their last five matches and have scored in every one of them, grinding out wins at Corinthians and Flamengo along the way. The model puts Cruzeiro at 45% to win, against a market price that implies roughly 31%. With Luis Sinisterra and Pec Gabriel absent, the visitors still carry real threat. Back Cruzeiro to win at 3.25 with bet365. The price is generous for a side with this much momentum.
