Corinthians face Vitoria on Sunday, Oct 18 at 5:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Serie A, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Corinthians come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Vitoria travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Corinthians here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Vitoria, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Corinthians a slight edge, but Vitoria are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
