Corinthians and Vitoria battle for three points in a Brasileiro Serie A round 11 clash on Sunday at Neo Quimica Arena.

The Sao Paulo outfit now shift their focus to the domestic scene, where their last league game saw them draw goalless at Atletico MG.
Vitoria, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at Universidad Catolica who also ended the game with 10 men. Rooney Troya's 16th-minute dismissal handed the initiative to the Brazlian side, but they didn't take advantage, with Baralhas' late own goal settling the contest.
Thiago Carpini's side's last league game was a 1-0 home defeat to Santos. The loss left them in 17th spot in the standings, with nine points from 10 games, while Corinthians are eighth with 14 points.
