Comparative Team Statistics: Corinthians vs Vitoria

A history of tight games

These two have met regularly down the years, and low-scoring, close contests are the norm rather than the exception. Their two most recent meetings produced a 0-0 draw and a narrow 1-0 win for Vitoria, continuing a pattern of matches decided by a single goal or finishing level.

Going further back there's more variety, including a couple of higher-scoring away wins, but nothing suggests one side has a clear psychological edge over the other in recent years.

Barely separated in the table

With 28 games played apiece, Vitoria sit 13th on 33 points and Corinthians 14th on 32, just one point and one place apart. Vitoria have the better win tally but have also lost more games, while Corinthians have drawn far more often.

Goal difference tells a similar story of two evenly matched sides: Vitoria have conceded 42 across the campaign, Corinthians 32, but Corinthians have also scored fewer than they'd like given how often they've drawn.

There's next to nothing between them on the league table.

Injury doubts on both sides

Vitoria have a couple of question marks, with Marinho nursing an ankle issue and R. Ramos dealing with a knee problem, both listed as questionable. Their main attacking threat has been Rene, who's scored nine goals in 21 appearances this season.
