Vasco vs Corinthians Prediction & Match Preview

Vasco vs Corinthians Prediction

One defeat and one win in the last five matches for Vasco and Corinthians respectively, perfectly outlines the differences between both sides and how they both compare after 15 matches as they head into the fixture at the Sao Januario arena in Rio de Janeiro. 

With five points separating them on the log, Vasco has had a better form, though slightly better offensively and defensively. Corinthians have been a complete shadow of themselves, and are currently locked in the relegation places. They are looking to move out of that zone with a victory away at Vasco, also depending on other results going their way. They come into this game on the back of a 3-nil defeat to Cruzeiro last Sunday, but they will be rubbing their palms with glee, hoping they are motivated by their record on this ground and even more so, their record in encounters against Vasco.

In ten away trips to Vasco, they have won five and shared spoils five times across all competitions, and all five wins producing Over 2.5 goals. The last time Vasco won on their home ground against Corinthians was 14 years ago in a round 18 Serie A encounter. Away from home this season though, Corinthians have struggled, going without a win on the road and managing just two points in eight matches. It is left to be seen, if that will be playing in the minds of the players as they enter this game.

Vasco has been pretty decent at home with 14 points from 8 matches, and with just one defeat in their last five home games, they will be hoping this is the point where they finally secure a win against a really difficult opponent. 

The hosts are backed by the odds to win this tie, not surprising based on their current form, but considering the head-to-head record between both sides, it is hard not to see Corinthians getting a result out of this game, and that is why we are advising picking Corinthians to win or draw this tie. We are saying Yes to both teams to score, with the teams almost at par defensively and also with three of their previous five encounters ending with both teams scoring. Those three games have also seen over 2.5 goals scored, so it is understandable to go for that goal margin as the third pick for this tie.
