The action continues in round 16 of Brasileiro Serie A as Vasco da Gama and Corinthians lock horns at the Estádio São Januário on Wednesday. Raphael Laruccia’s men are yet to taste victory away from home in the league this season and will be looking to end this poor run.
Vasco da Gama picked up consecutive victories for the first time since March as they edged out Internacional 2-1 at the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda on Sunday.
Rafael Paiva’s side have secured two wins and one draw in their last three matches, having won just one of their previous seven matches preceding this run.
This upturn in form has seen Vasco surge into 13th place in the Serie A table with 17 points from 15 matches, and they could move into 10th place with all three points on Wednesday.
Corinthians, on the other hand, were sent crashing back to earth last time out as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Cruzeiro at the Minerao Stadium.
This followed a 3-2 victory over Vitoria at the Neo Química Arena on July 5 which saw their run of nine consecutive league games without a win come to an end.
Laruccia’s men are currently 17th in the Serie A standings, having picked up just 12 points from their 15 matches.
