Brasileiro Serie A - Vitoria BA v Coritiba
I preview a very balanced and difficult game for both teams. I can not understand the high favouritism that the bookies offer to Vitoria. I had an opportunity to see the latests games from Coritiba, and saw a huge evolution that has had acting outside Couto Pereira.
In the table, the Vitoria is 7th and Cotitiba 8th, both with 37 points.
After a fantastic begin of championship by the Vitoria, the team has fallen from income. In my opinion something natural for a team that don't have the same solutions that Gremio, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, Sao Paulo when the injuries and suspensions start to hit the door.
It is within the Barradao that Vitoria has most of points. Playing at home, the team has 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. But it is also true that there are not two rounds wins at home, having drawed with the 0x0 Ipatinga and also with the Sport.
The team has suffered mainly in offensive sector. In the last 5 games scored only 3 goals.
The Coritiba, after had lost many points away from home at the beginning of competition, it seems that finally managed to strike a balance, and a solid schedule of play to act outside the Couto Pereira.
In the last 5 games made outside the home, Coritiba lost only 1, which was against very strong Palmeiras in the Palestra Italia, the result was 1x0.
In the last game out of the house Coritiba made a good showing in Mineirao, from which managed only a tie with Cruzeiro by 1x1.
Coming from a home defeat to Botafogo (1x0) in the last round, the Coritiba not think of another result is not the conquest of 3 points in the game against Victoria. The defensive midfielder Rodrigo Mancha said during the week:
-- We know that we can not fall. They need the win and will come up. We will enter ofensivily, in search of victory. We can not think only in defend us, because if we do this, we call them for our field. (Source: GloboEsporte)
The Coritiba for this game will not count with the right defender Rodrigo Heffner who is injured, and also from defender Mauricio who is suspended.
Already the Vitoria, the playmakers Marquinhos and Williams are in doubt, but I very likely the use of both.
I preview difficulties for the Vitoria in this game, and I think Coritiba has great chances of achieving points in this game.
