Corinthians take on the visitors Vitoria in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, July 5th at Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo).
Bookmakers continue to actively believe in the illustrious Corinthians and mark them as favorites from match to match. However, the "Musketeers" have not won in the national championship since the end of April and still aren't winning. The last time the team kept a clean sheet in the league was in mid-May. Since then, they have conceded at least one goal per game for eight consecutive rounds, regardless of home field advantage or the level of opponents: draws against Cuiabá (1-1), Atlético Paranaense (1-1), São Paulo (2-2), Atlético-GO (2-2), and losses to Flamengo (0-2), Palmeiras (0-2), Botafogo (0-1), and Internacional (0-1).

Vitória Bahia has not performed much better than the hosts of the upcoming match and, in fact, is ahead of Corinthians by only three points. The "Lions of Barra" have more wins than their opponent, but they also lose slightly more often. In general, these teams are quite evenly matched. I think the visitors are quite capable of scoring at least one goal against the hosts. After losing to Atlético Paranaense (0-1), Vitória failed to score for the first time in six recent matches. Previously, they had scored at least once in each game: victories over Fluminense (1-0), Internacional (2-1), Atlético Mineiro (4-2), a draw with Juventude (1-1), and a loss to Bragantino (1-2).
Vitória Bahia, of course, does not look much better than their opponent, but they are quite capable of scoring at least once against the hosts. The "Lions of Barra" have been scoring more than a goal per game on average this season, while the visitors concede more than one on average. In 9 out of 13 championship matches, Vitória has scored, and Corinthians has kept a clean sheet only three times. I think in a match between two competitors fighting for survival in the league, there will be plenty of goals, as who else will these teams score against if not each other? My prediction is Over 0.5 goals for the away team (Individual Total Over 0.5 for Vitória Bahia).
Prediction for the match: Vitoria to score – yes.
