Vitor Roque shines vs Palmeiras, best form since July 2023 | OneFootball

Vitor Roque, forward for Palmeiras, seems to have overcome a period of doubt and is currently experiencing his best phase since returning to Brazilian football. Not only that, the Verdão striker hasn't had such a great offensive moment since the beginning of July 2023.

After being eliminated by Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil, Palmeiras "turned the page" and gained momentum in the season, achieving four wins and two draws in six matches played. Vitor Roque, thus, got into the rhythm and also has a streak of good performances rewarded with impressive numbers.

In these last six games, the number 9 of Alviverde scored three goals and provided four assists, totaling seven goal involvements, which is more than one per match on average. In this period, he scored against Ceará, Universitario, and Corinthians, and assisted in the matches against Universitario, Botafogo, and Sport (twice).

The only time the striker "drew a blank" was in the 0-0 draw with Universitario at Allianz Parque, in the second leg of the Libertadores round of 16. In the first leg, when Palmeiras won 4-0, Vitor Roque scored a goal and provided an assist.

Thus, this is the best moment in offensive numbers for the forward since the period between June and July 2023, when he shone while still wearing the Athletico-PR jersey. At that time, in the same six-game span, Vitor Roque also participated in seven goals. However, in that sequence, he scored six goals and provided one assist.

Between June 11 and July 5, 2023, the striker scored against América-MG, São Paulo, Corinthians, Allianza Lima (twice), Palmeiras, and assisted against Flamengo.

After that, Vitor Roque still had a high period at Furacão, with good statistics, but without matching the previous feat. However, while he was in Europe, during his stints at Barcelona and Real Betis, the forward didn't find much space and didn't have impressive enough numbers.

Palmeiras, with Vitor Roque, returns to the field at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday to face Internacional at Allianz Parque, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
