The Brazilian Championship is in full swing. Vasco and Corinthians face off this Sunday, starting at 4 pm (Brasília time), at São Januário, in a match valid for the 21st round of the national competition.
Corinthians is going through a complicated moment in the Brazilian Championship. Timão doesn't know what it's like to win in six rounds, with three draws and three defeats – two of them, in fact, consecutive.
In the last two rounds, Corinthians lost to Juventude, 2-1, at Alfredo Jaconi. Then, it was defeated by Bahia, with the same score, at Neo Química Arena. Alvinegro Paulista, thus, is close to the relegation zone and occupies 14th place, with 22 points – three more than Vitória, which opens the Z4.
Vasco, in turn, won a great victory in the last round of the Brazilian Championship and thrashed Santos, at Morumbi, 6-0. However, Cruzmaltino couldn't get on a roll, as it lost to Juventude mid-week, in a delayed game of the 14th round.
In the last five rounds of the tournament, the Rio team suffered two defeats, two draws, and had only one victory. Vasco is also fighting against relegation – it appears in 16th position, with 19 points, the same score as Vitória.
In the overall history of the confrontation, after 106 matches played, Corinthians appears with a wide dominance over Vasco. According to data from the Ogol platform, Timão has 48 victories against 25 triumphs of Cruzmaltino. The duel also accumulates 33 draws.
Beyond that, Corinthians also came out victorious in the most recent cutouts. In the last ten meetings between the teams, for example, the Alvinegro paulista won seven victories, in addition to two draws, against only one triumph of Vasco.
The last confrontation between Corinthians and Vasco, in fact, ended with an Alvinegra victory. In Itaquera, Timão didn't give a chance to the Rio team and won 3-0 in the first round of the Brazilian Championship, thanks to goals from Yuri Alberto, Memphis, and João Victor (against).
Both Corinthians and Vasco are not having a good Brazilian Championship, but they remain alive and are in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. Timão will face Athletico-PR and will decide at home, while Cruzmaltino will face Botafogo, but will play the second game away from home.
Already in the Brazilian Championship, the situation is different. After 20 rounds, the Alvinegra team has accumulated only five victories, with seven draws and eight defeats, totaling an average of 36.6%. On the other hand, Vasco is also far from being in a good situation. The Rio team has five triumphs, four draws, and ten defeats in 19 games, totaling 33.3% of the average.
Corinthians has an extensive list of casualties for the match. Yuri Alberto and Hugo (inguinal hernia), Memphis Depay (muscle injury in the thigh), Carrillo (ankle surgery), and José Martínez (hand surgery) will be certain casualties for the confrontation.
In contrast, coach Dorival Júnior will have the returns of defender Cacá, lateral Angileri, and striker Romero. The trio served a suspension in the last round. Thus, the tendency is that the coach will continue to bet on the young players from the base and will have to make changes in the midfield.
Vasco, in turn, should not have at its disposal the injured Matheus Carvalho and Adson. On the other hand, it should be able to return to count on Jair, who served a suspension in the match against Juventude, and with Paulo Henrique, who was not even on the bench in the last Wednesday.
CORINTHIANS: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, Breno Bidon, Maycon (Charles), and Garro; Gui Negão and Talles Magno (Romero). Coach: Dorival Júnior
VASCO: Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Mauricio Lemos, Lucas Freitas, and Lucas Piton; Tchê Tchê and Hugo Moura; Nuno Moreira, Coutinho, and Rayan; Vegetti. Coach: Fernando Diniz
