Corinthians

DWWWLD

Corinthians go into this match following a 1-1 Copa Libertadores drawn match against Independiente Santa Fe.

In that game, Corinthians had 59% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Corinthians was Henrique (90'). On the other side, Independiente Santa Fe had 15 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Hugo Rodallega (59') was the scorer for Independiente Santa Fe.

Their latest results really do illustrate the point that much solidity has been shown by the Corinthians rearguard. Corinthians have been stingy, seeing the number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous 6 games standing at 3. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be sustained in this game.

Heading into this fixture, Corinthians are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches at home.

São Paulo

LWWDDD

Last time out, São Paulo drew 0-0 in the Copa Sudamericana tie with O'Higgins.

In that game, São Paulo managed 49% possession and 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. O'Higgins had 15 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

A succession of outstanding performances from the São Paulo defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures in total. Over that same period, their own attack force has managed to score 7.

Their previous form shows that São Paulo:

• have not emerged victorious against Corinthians in away games against them for the last 13 league matches. What a horrible run of results.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that São Paulo have the capability to break down this Corinthians side, however that might not be enough to avoid a loss.
