From my recollection, Vito does not state that a capo will betray Michael. But we do have Michael recognizing, of the two capos, Tessio's superior intelligence and, from all appearances, the betrayal is a smart move. Tom stating that it would be Clemenza is probably just an exercise of directorial license to set up Michael's statement about Tessio.
