Corinthians v Vasco da Gama

Corinthians vs Vasco da Gama Preview

Corinthians return to the home surroundings of their Neo Química Arena for Saturday evening's clash against Vasco da Gama in what is a lower half encounter in the Brazilian Serie A, but having picked up four points from their last two away games, Corinthians will be quietly confident about their chances for this fixture.

A 1-0 win away from home at Atletico Mineiro was followed up with a point in a 0-0 draw at Bahia and Corinthians will have also been boosted by the fact that they kept clean sheets in these last two matches as well.

League wins have been hard to come by though for Corinthians who have managed to muster just three victories out of their last 14 matches overall, which have registered in wins against Fluminense, Santos and Atletico Mineiro while also slipping to seven defeats within this period as well.

This has meant Corinthians still find themselves perched just two points above the relegation zone but having lost just once in their last six games on home soil at their Neo Química Arena, Corinthians will be hoping they can put further distance between themselves and the bottom four with a win here this Saturday.

Vasco da Gama find themselves in even deeper trouble as the visitors sit bottom of the Brazilian Serie A table and six points adrift of 16th placed Goias and safety prior to this weekend's action in the domestic top flight.

Having lost each of their last three games on the trot heading into Saturday's clash, Vasco da Gama look to have their work cut out for this trip to face Corinthians following recent losses to Botafogo, Cruzeiro and Athletico PR and although Vasco did manage to register a 1-0 home win against Cuiaba beforehand, results overall this season have been extremely poor.

Indeed, the bigger picture shows Vasco da Gama have managed to pick up just the one win from their previous 14 matches overall in Serie A and this includes no fewer than 10 defeats during what has been a woeful period of results for the visitors and one that places Vasco da Gama with having an apparent mountain to climb on Saturday evening.

Corinthians v Vasco da Gama Verdict Corinthians may have struggled for results of late but the hosts have at least grabbed a few wins in between the disappointing results which is more than can be said for their visitors, Vasco da Gama, who have also lost their last four away games on the trot as well, conceding 10 goals and scoring just three in reply.

Corinthians are also unbeaten in each of their last 20 meetings with Vasco da Gama.

Corinthians win & Under 2.5 goals @ 3.25
