Vitoria vs Gremio: Vitoria to win
Vitoria's 1.3 xG edge and a 56.6% win probability make them clear favorites at home against a struggling Gremio side.
Both clubs come in with shaky recent runs, but Vitoria's home record and Gremio's poor away numbers set the stage for a decisive encounter in Salvador.
Bez's Verdict
Given Vitoria's superior home xG and a win probability over 56%, the model backs them to secure all three points.
Show the maths
With Vitoria averaging 1.3 expected goals and Gremio averaging 0.5, the model gives a 71.4% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 28.6% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Vitoria at 56.6%, the draw at 29.2%, and Gremio at 14.3% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 21.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
Vitoria
Vitoria's recent five‑game run reads LLWLL, highlighted by a 1‑0 home win over Botafogo and a 0‑4 drubbing by Palmeiras. The solitary win shows they can grind out a result, while the four losses, especially the 0‑2 defeats to Flamengo and Bahia, underline a fragile defence that still concedes less than a goal per game at home – a factor that supports a narrow home win.
Gremio
Gremio's DWLLW form includes a 2‑1 home victory over Sao Paulo and a 3‑1 home win over Chapecoense-sc, but their away record is poor with 0‑3 and 0‑1 defeats to Atletico-MG and RB Bragantino. The two away losses, combined with a 0.5 away xG, indicate limited scoring threat on the road, reinforcing the expectation that they will struggle to overturn Vitoria's home advantage.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Gremio has won three times, including a recent 2‑0 win on 2026-03-19, while Vitoria managed two draws. The head‑to‑head trend favors Gremio, but the home xG advantage tilts this fixture toward a Vitoria win.
