Vasco da Gama vs Corinthians Prediction: Both teams need points

Vasco da Gama vs Corinthians: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 24, 2025

Vasco da Gama and Corinthians are close to the relegation zone, so this match is likely to be quite intense.

Vasco da Gama: Form and statistics

After a resounding 6-0 victory over Santos in São Paulo, Vasco da Gama fans expected their team to beat Juventude, the team with the most goals conceded in the league, but that was not the case. Juventude won 2-0, and its defense was very solid. The Gaúchos appear to have already assimilated the ideas of new coach Thiago Carpini, who is known for organizing his teams well. Vasco started the game poorly and was already losing 1-0 after three minutes. Left back Lucas Piton was careless and left his hand up when Reginaldo crossed the ball. The play happened 50 seconds into the game, and after some protests, 44-year-old Nenê converted the penalty kick. The home team, motivated by its first point on the road in the previous round, became even more confident after the goal scored early in the game. In the 16th minute, Gabriel Taliari made it 2-0 for Juventude and sealed the result. Vasco da Gama ended the game with an overwhelming 77% possession, but in reality created very little danger for Jandrei's goal. The Cariocas had 14 shots, but only two were on target. Fernando Diniz's team is in 16th place with 19 points, just one place above the relegation zone.

🔖Vasco starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

👤Head Coach: Fernando Diniz

Corinthians: Form and statistics

The Timão is going through a difficult period and is in a complicated situation. Corinthians eliminated Palmeiras from the Copa do Brasil, but has not won in six league games and recently lost several key players to injury, who will not be returning anytime soon. Forwards Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay will be unavailable for some time, and the midfield is also severely weakened by the injuries to Raniele, Carrillo, and now Martínez. In the last game against Bahia at home, Dorival Júnior had no alternative but to field two young players in attack, Gui Negão and Kayke. Both players performed well, and Gui Negão scored Corinthians' only goal. In any case, the difference in quality between the current Corinthians team and Bahia was evident, and the Baianos won 2-1 at the Neo Química Arena. After the defeat, the Paulistas remain on 22 points but have dropped to 14th, with the relegation zone now just three points below them.

Corinthians: Lineup

Martínez has joined the injury list. Romero, Cacá, and Angileri are back after serving their suspensions, but it is not a sure thing that they will be in the starting lineup.

🔖Corinthians starting lineup (4-4–2)

Hugo Souza – Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho, Matheus Bidu – Raniele, Charles, Bidon, Garro – Gui Negão, Kayke

⛔️Out: Martínez, Yuri Alberto, Depay, Carrillo, Hugo (injured)

👤Head Coach: Dorival Júnior

Vasco da Gama vs Corinthians match prediction 24 August 2025

Vasco da Gama and Corinthians are close to the relegation zone, suggesting this game will be very competitive. Corinthians haven't won in six rounds, but on the other hand, Vasco is a very inconsistent team, capable of both the best and the worst. The head-to-head record is quite favorable to Corinthians, which makes me doubt the home team's favoritism. I'm going to bet that both teams will score.
