Betting on Sport Club Corinthians Paulista
If Corinthians is looking for a moment to turn around its slow start in the Brasileirao season, there’s no doubt that beating its biggest rival is a good way to start.
After five matchdays, the Timao team finds itself closer to the relegation zone than to the places that give access to continental competitions. So, it’s not a positive performance for Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s team, which holds 16th place with just four points.
Moreover, this performance is not limited to the local championship. Actually, in the Copa Libertadores, Corinthians has lost two out of three matches due to its defensive problems, and in the domestic tournament, it has only scored five goals, while being one of the most conceded defenses with ten goals.
The good news for the team is that it has earned all four points at home. However, in the Copa Libertadores, the two aforementioned stumbles came in front of its supporters, although in the Serie A of Brazil, the team beat Cruzeiro 2-1 and drew 1-1 with Fortaleza, showing clear signs of inconsistency.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Cássio; Fagner, Murillo, Gil, Matheus Bidu; Fausto Vera, Roni; Adson, Matheus Araujo, Róger Guedes; Yuri Alberto.
Betting on Sao Paulo Futebol Clube
Sao Paulo, on the other hand, has had a better start to the season than its biggest rival, because despite losing on the first day, it has strung together four games without knowing what it feels like to fall.
The Tricolor team holds seventh place in the standings with eight points, and in the only match in which it did not score points, the team faced a tough visit to Botafogo, the current leaders.
However, Sao Paulo, coached by Dorival Junior, has been very good after that fall, and is the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the championship, with only three goals, two of which came in the aforementioned loss.
Regarding its performance on enemy grounds, the team has not yet managed to win on the road in three games, but it has obtained valuable draws against Coritiba and Fortaleza. In addition, in the Copa Sudamericana, Sao Paulo remains unbeaten after three games, with one win and one draw playing away.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Rafael Pires; Raí Ramos, Robert Arboleda, Lucas Beraldo, Patryck; Pablo Maia, Jhegson Méndez, Alisson; Wellington Rato, Juan; Luciano.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite Sao Paulo arriving in better form, its visit to Corinthians’ stadium has been a true nightmare for the team, since it hasn’t won there in 18 matches.
However, that losing streak is at high risk of being broken. Corinthians is going through a tough time, and its two defeats in the Copa Libertadores demonstrate that the team is not invincible at home.
On the other hand, Sao Paulo’s defense has been truly impressive. In such a challenging championship like Brasileirao, leading the standings with the least goals conceded is no easy feat, and so far, this team is the number one in the league.
That being said, three out of the last five editions of the Clásico Majestuoso derby ended with two goals or less, while three out of the past five Corinthians vs Sao Paulo clashes at Corinthians’ home ground ended with a low score. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict that the Under (2.5) will be fulfilled in this challenge.
Prediction: Under (COR 1 – SAO 1).
