Vitoria host Atletico Goianiense at the Estadio Manoel Barradas on Saturday (June 1) in the Brasileirao Serie A. The hosts have endured a difficult run of results on promotion, as they find themselves 18th in the points table with one point.
They lost 2-1 to Vasco da Gama in their last league outing, finding themselves two goals down before Iury Castilho came off the bench to net a late consolation goal.
Atletico, meanwhile, haven't fared any better, as they remain winless in the new campaign. They lost 1-0 by Cruzeiro last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to convert their chances before their opponents clinched a late victory.
