This Saturday, the Vitória football team is set to face Mirassol in a critical match at 18:30 (Brasília time) at Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia, also known as Maião. The match marks the 17th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Currently, Vitória is positioned 15th in the standings with 16 points, while Mirassol sits in 7th place with 24 points.
The team will return to Salvador on Sunday and will have a full week to prepare for their next challenge against Palmeiras, scheduled for next Sunday at 19:30 at Barradão. Notably, the team has welcomed back player Osvaldo; however, they will be without two key players: Erick, who is serving a suspension after receiving a third yellow card against Sport, and Matheuzinho, who is sidelined due to a heel injury.
