There’s also action from the Brazilian top flight again on Thursday night with Corinthians playing host to Athletico PR as the betting tips continue at the Arena Corinthians.
Corinthians Prediction – Can Corinthians keep run going?
4th placed Corinthians bring a useful looking 4-match unbeaten sequence into this Thursday night fixture with Athletico PR as the hosts look to consolidate their current position in the top four of the Brazilian top flight and accordingly, their potential Copa Libertadores spot.
3 wins out of their last 4 matches overall in Serie A with victories against Bahia, Vasco da Gama and Chapecoense along with a point from a draw with Gremio have maintained Corinthians’ bid for a top four finish, and they still remain unbeaten on home turf at their Arena Corinthians this season too.
An overall home record of 8-4-0 15/5 includes 5 wins out of their last 6 matches at home and the hosts have also kept a total of 8 clean sheets as well which has given Corinthians the best defensive record at home in Serie A.
Midfielder Pedrinho (4 goals) along with forwards Love (5 goals), Boselli and Clayson (3 goals apiece) look the most likely for Corinthians here.
Athletico PR Prediction – Can Athletico PR upset hosts?
9th placed Athletico PR also bring a 4-match unbeaten sequence into this clash as they look to maintain their challenge for a top 12 finish in Serie A which would see them qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, but they’re only 4 points adrift of 6th placed Internacional prior to this encounter.
Recent wins against Fortaleza 4-1 at home and a 2-1 win away at Bahia along with points gained in draws with Vasco da Gama and Chapecoense, both in 1-1 stalemates, gives the visitors a chance of getting something out of Corinthians on Thursday night.
However, switch to results away from home and you’ll find that Athletico PR have managed to record just 1 away win out of their last 5 matches on their travels in the Brazilian top flight, which was the aforementioned victory at 8th placed Bahia.
An overall away record of 3-3-6 17/16 underlines Athletico PR’s inconsistent nature on the road in this season’s Serie A, and they’ve also struggled to get results away at Corinthians too as the visitors have failed to beat their hosts in their last 8 trips to the Arena Corinthians ground.

- Corinthians still remain unbeaten at home in Serie A this season
- Corinthians have also kept 8 clean sheets from their 12 home matches to date
