On Thursday, September 12, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup, Corinthians will host Juventude. The first match ended with a 2-1 victory for Juventude. A forecast and betting tips for this match have been prepared by the Dailysports analytics team.
Corinthians
In the coming days, all eyes will be on Corinthians. After all, it's not every day a star of Memphis Depay's caliber arrives in the Brazilian league. However, this does not change the fact that Corinthians are enduring a disastrous season. After 25 rounds of Serie A, "Timao" finds themselves in the relegation zone, sitting in 17th place, two points away from safety.
In their most recent Serie A match, Corinthians unexpectedly defeated Flamengo 2-1 at home, but prior to that, "Timao" had gone six matches without a win.
Juventude
Juventude, a newly-promoted team in Serie A, has been defying expectations. Currently occupying 13th place after 25 matches, the "Periquito" are performing reasonably well. However, the battle for survival remains intense, as Juventude sits just four points ahead of Corinthians with 13 matches remaining.
Lately, the green-and-whites have struggled with form, earning only 4 points from their last 5 matches. In their most recent game, Juventude played out a goalless draw away to Cuiabá, following losses to Internacional (1-3) and Atlético Goianiense (1-2).
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- In this Serie A season, Juventude defeated Corinthians 2-0 at home, while the teams played to a 1-1 draw at Corinthians' stadium.
- Corinthians are unbeaten in their last 10 home matches.
Corinthians vs Juventude prediction
Juventude has performed well against Corinthians recently, but "Timao" remain the clear favorites. My prediction is a home win.
