In the upcoming showdown between Corinthians and Vitória, there are quite a few things to discuss. Now, let’s dive into the sea of numbers and injuries and try to make sense of them, shall we?
On the goalkeeper front, Vitória has Lucas Arcanjo with an average rating of 7.07 and 21 saves. He's compiled some impressive numbers there, folks. Rolling on to Corinthians, we've got not one, but two top-level goalies. Carlos Miguel with a 7.60 rating and Matheus Donelli with a 7.40 rating, who's made 22 epic saves. Perhaps Donelli has been watching a bit too much of the movie "Save the Last Dance".
Turning our attention to the top players, Vitória sports some enviable talent, including Willian Oliveira - he's netted 3 goals with an impressive accurate passing percentage of 79.0%. There's also the dynamic Wagner Leonardo, who's made a goal and boasts an 85.0% accurate pass rate. Corinthians is not lacking in firepower either. The brilliant Yuri Alberto comes with 2 goals under his belt and a passing accuracy of 69.3%. Then there's Igor Coronado who has a goal to his name and an envy-worthy passing accuracy rate of 86.2%.
And let’s not forget the obstacle course of injuries; Vitória berries are missing Camutanga and Leo Naldi. Corinthians, on the other hand, lost a legion with Fagner, Breno Bidon (there goes the man with the 7.27 rating), Maycon, and Félix Torres.
Examining the regular season records, Vitória has Corinthians beat with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses compared to Corinthians' 1 win, 6 draws, and 6 losses.
Looking at the most recent games, Vitória has been playing leapfrog with victories & losses and comes in fresher off a one-goal loss to Athletico. A contrast to Corinthians, who have been seeing more ties than a business casual affair. Top it off with their latest game, a two-goal loss to Palmeiras.
Weaving all this wonderful mess of information together, and fingers tingling with the power of prognostication...
