Corinthians vs Vitoria Previews, Form and Players to Watch

Corinthians have started this season strong, as they continue to climb up the Serie A table towards the Copa Libertadores Qualification spots. Occupying eighth, they are currently sat in the Copa Sudamericana places. However, the Big Team are just one point behind Libertadores Qualification and six points away from the top four. Furthermore, Corinthians form has certainly picked up as of late. Dorival Junior’s men have only lost one game in their last six in the Serie A, picking up vital wins against the likes of Santos FC and Internacional. However, their last match away to Atletico MG ended goalless after the 90 minutes, meaning Corinthians had to settle for a draw.

Vitoria are not having the best of seasons so far this term. After ten matches, the Red and Black slouch down in 17th, putting them in the relegation zone. After only winning two matches in the Serie A so far, things look bleak in Salvador. However, it is still early days in the campaign and Vitoria have plenty of time to pick up the points they need for survival. Ultimately, their form has not been good enough. Thiago Carpini’s outfit have only picked up one win in their last six matches, losing three of them in the process. One of these losses includes their last match against relegation rivals Santos, as an early goal from Guilherme Augusto settled the tie as 1-0 to the visitors.

Corinthians Preview

Corinthians Predicted Line-Up: Souza, Bidu, Caca, Tchoca, Matheuzinho, Raniele, Magno, Martinez, Ryan, Carrillo, Depay

Corinthians star man needs no introduction. Memphis Depay continues to pursue his legacy in South America, as he has been performing for Corinthians this season. The forward has netted three goals and grabbed three assists in the Serie A this season, showing exactly what he is capable of. Furthermore, as the Dutchman has only just returned from injury, he will be raring to go in this tie.

Vitoria Preview

Vitoria Predicted Line-Up: Arcanjo, Jamerson, Halter, Marcos, Baralhas, Ronald, Ryller, Osvaldo, Matheuzinho, Mosquito, Kayzer

As expected, Vitoria’s striker Renato Kayzer has been the club’s talisman this season. The 29-year-old has found the net three times in three matches for the Red and Black, demonstrating the scoring habits he has shown at various other South American sides. However, after bursting onto the scene in his first two matches for Vitoria, Kayzer failed to make his mark in their last match against Santos.

Head-to-Head Stats:

Whilst Vitoria not beaten the Big Team for a period lasting almost eight years, they always manage to make the game a tight one.

• Vitoria 1-2 Corinthians, November 2024
