Competition: Brazil Serie A
Market: Corinthians win
Odds: 7/5 @ 888sport
Two sides who find themselves battling it out at the top of the Serie A table, Corinthians will make the trip to Cuiaba in the early hours of Wednesday.
Starting with the hosts, despite just about managing to hang onto their Serie A status last season, all the signs are pointing towards another difficult campaign for Cuiaba. Last seen over the weekend when putting in another downbeat display as they were hit with a 2-1 loss away at America MG, Head Coach António Oliveira will know that he has quite the job on his hands. Now losing each of their last three outings, a run highlighted by a 3-1 defeat against Peruvian outfit Melgar on Copa Sudamericana duties last month, Cuiaba will know that they face a stern test here. Now with just a single victory across any format to their name since back on April 24th, Wednesday’s hosts have also shown some extended issues on home soil. It should be highlighted, Oliveira’s men have failed to win any of their last seven matchups at the Arena Pantanal.
As for the visitors, managing to make a much-welcomed return to winning ways last weekend, there is no doubt that Corinthians will be desperate to keep up that momentum here. Eventually picking up a 1-0 victory away at Atletico GO, Vítor Pereira’s men are tipped as a leading contender in this year’s Serie A title chase. Making the trip to the Arena Pantanal on Wednesday holding a two-point buffer at the top of the table, the Whites should be smelling the chance to lay down a marker here. Drawing a line under their five-match drawing run last time out, the former Fenerbahçe boss should also be boosted by his side’s eye-catching record against the relegation scrappers. Picking up back-to-back 3-2 and 2-1 victories when the two sides faced off last season, a similar away win in midweek can be found at very appealing odds.
