Remo v Vitória: survival fight meets away-day test | OneFootball

Remo host Vitória in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 26 July 2026 at Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença in Belém, with the hosts seeking to climb out of the relegation places and the visitors looking to firm up their Copa Sudamericana push.

Remo sit 19th on 18 points, while Vitória are 11th with 26. The last league meeting went Vitória's way, a 2-0 win in January.

Form is mixed. Leão da Barra drew 0-0 at Botafogo after beating Vasco da Gama 1-0, yet their league away record is winless with only four points and 22 goals conceded on the road. Leão Azul lost 3-0 at Corinthians last time out but beat São Paulo 1-0 before that, and have 21 goals for and 32 against this season.

Team news could shape the contest. Leão Azul are without suspended defender Marllon and injured forward Eduardo Melo. Nêgo travel minus suspended Leandro Martinez and injured defenders Camatunga, Edu and Nathan Mendes, midfielders Dudu and Ismael, plus forward Anderson Pato, leaving depth to be managed across the back line and midfield.

Leão da Barra have eight clean sheets this season, with 46% possession and 80.59% passing, but that strong base has wobbled away from home. Renê leads their league scoring with five, with Renato Kayzer on four, and service from Erick (four assists) and Gabriel Baralhas (three) could be key. Leão Azul may look to test an away defence that has struggled on its travels.

A win would lift Leão Azul to 21 points and could cut the gap to safety. Victory for Nêgo would take them to 29 points and strengthen their Sudamericana bid.
