Brasileirao
Vasco da Gama vs Corinthians
20:30 ET
Flirting with the relegation zone, Vasco and Corinthians face off this Wednesday, at 21:30 (Brasília), in São Januário, in the game that opens the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Both teams live very bad times, go to the field under pressure and can enter the Z-4 at the weekend, in case of stumbling.
Vasco and Corinthians enter the field with the same 18 points. The clubs are glued to the table, in 15th and 16th place, respectively. They are the first two teams above the relegation zone. The difference is that the Rio team has two games less.
Vasco is in free fall. The team came to lead at the beginning of the Brazilian and until September was in the G-4. However, the team comes from a very bad streak, has only made one point in the last six rounds and has plummeted. The sequence cost Ramon Menezes the job. His replacement, Portuguese Ricardo Sá Pinto, debuts tonight and brings with him the hope of better days in São Januário.
Corinthians, in turn, also comes to the game at a troubled time. The defeat suffered at home last Sunday, by 5 to 1 for Flamengo, reflects the phase of the São Paulo team, which tries to avoid the return to the Z-4.
