Regarding available players, Toni Borevkovic and Arnel Jakupovic are fit for 90 minutes, while Alanzinho still has physical limitations after missing pre-season and being sidelined for a prolonged period.
Finishing was one of the main focuses of the weekly work, with Vitória looking to improve offensive efficiency. Tiago Margarido expressed confidence in the team's ability: "I really believe we will score goals," he stated, highlighting the need to capitalize on the chances created.
