Corinthians desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 24 at 11:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Vasco da Gama come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Corinthians travel struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Vasco da Gama face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Corinthians have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Vasco da Gama won 0–1.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Vasco da Gama clear favorites, but Corinthians have shown they can grind out results. Expect Vasco da Gama to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
