Betting on Corinthians
The Corinthians team arrives to this match while going through a difficult moment. The Timao team suffered a tough 2-1 defeat in the Paulista Derby against Palmeiras, which caused it to fall to the bottom of the Brasileirao standings.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the team experienced a tough internal situation last week, following the sudden departure of coach Cuca just a week after taking on the lead. His departure was due to off-field scandals that forced the coach to resign.
Regarding the team’s international campaign, Corinthians made its Copa Libertadores debut with a 3-0 away win against Liverpool from Uruguay. However, in its second home match, it surprisingly lost by a narrow difference to Argentinos Juniors.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Cássio; Fagner, Bruno Méndez, Gil, Matheus Bidu; Fausto Vera, Roni; Chrystian Barletta, Roger Guedes, Giuliano; Yuri Alberto.
Betting on Independiente del Valle
On the other hand, Independiente del Valle dreams of showcasing its renowned and intense soccer ability, which through hard work led the team to win the Copa Sudamericana twice and become the Copa Libertadores runner-up in 2016.
In its most recent match, the team led by Martín Anselmi achieved a 3-2 away victory against Emelec, solidifying its position as the undisputed leader of the Ecuadorian League.
However, the team’s performance in the current edition of the Libertadores has been somewhat inconsistent due to its narrow away loss in its debut match against Argentinos Juniors and a subsequent 2-0 win at home against Liverpool from Uruguay.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Wellington Ramírez; Mateo Carabajal, Richard Schunke, Agustín García; Joao Ortiz, Jordy Alcívar, Matías Fernández, Gustavo Cortez, Ray Páez; Junior Sornoza, Marcelo Moreno Martins.
JefeBet Prediction
Although we can highlight Independiente Del Valle’s great performance, along with the fact that it has remained undefeated for five matches in a row, we must never forget that Corinthians is a team that tends to perform strongly at home. This is a decisive factor that, at JefeBet, we believe will ultimately lead to the home team’s victory.
