Cobresal vs Corinthians Betting Tips and Predictions

Corinthians come into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over city rivals Sao Paulo in the Paulista at the weekend and have won all their competitive games so far in 2016. They have to be considered strong contenders to win the competition outright, a feat they achieved for the first time in 2012.

They were surprisingly beaten by Guarani in the 1st knock-out round last season having won their group ahead of Sao Paulo and San Lorenzo. They’ve suffered just 1 defeat in their last 16 competitive games overall so confidence will be sky high and they will want to lay down an early marker to cement themselves as the team to beat this year.

Their opponents Cobresal have made a poor start to the Chilean Primera Division and their form has been poor for a while in truth. It was their showings in the first half of 2015 that won them the Chilean Clasura and got them into the competition but they’ve struggled badly since winning their first ever league title.

They have lost 14 of their last 25 matches, all of which were against domestic opposition so a game against the Brazilian champions is one they are going to find very tough you’d have thought for a side that have very limited experience of playing at this level.

Corinthians look set for another strong year and at 21/20 they are generously priced to win this match against inexperienced opponents.

They haven’t been winning games by big margins though and all of their victories this year had been by one goal prior to their 2-0 win over Sao Paulo. Therefore a professional 1-0 victory could be the outcome here and can be backed at 5/1.
