Ultimately, neither team arrives with any great momentum behind them and have been below par for quite some time now. Nonetheless, for all their struggles in recent weeks and over the entire season, Corinthians have remained a powerful force on their own patch, losing just 2 of their 16 matches there, winning 8 times in the process and taking that into account, they should be able to give a Sao Paulo outfit that’s had the more impressive campaign overall a run for their money.
Calling a result looks difficult in this one and it could go either way but instead, great value looks set to be found in backing both nets to be hit. Each party will be playing with an attacking style as they chase the win and action is normally found in this fixture, with 5 of the previous 7 clashes between the two seeing goals at either end. 3 of Corinthians’ last 4 matches have also featured both sides scoring and we can envisage that sequence being built upon in a 2-2 draw.
