Corinthians vs Santos Predictions

• Corinthians are unbeaten at home this season
• Santos have won one of their last nine matches
• These sides met in the cup on Thursday where Corinthians ran out comfortable 4-0 winners

Hosts hoping for a quick-fire double

Corinthians will be hoping to complete a quick-fire double over Santos when they meet in Brazil Serie A on Saturday. The two sides met in the cup on Wednesday where Corinthians brushed Santos to one side on their way to a 4-0 victory. Corinthians are unbeaten on home soil this season and a return of 14 points from six matches gives them the second-best home record in the division. A hallmark of Corinthians success in front of their own fans has been their watertight defence – Corinthians have only conceded two home goals in the league this season, four fewer than anyone else in the division.

Santos could do with a confidence boost  

Santos’ season has yet to catch light and they quickly find themselves well off the pace in the Brazilian topflight. Santos have won one of their last nine matches in all competitions. In fairness, they have only lost twice in that period but their failure to turn draws into wins is beginning to prove costly. Santos will still have Wednesday’s humbling defeat fresh in their memories and it is hard to see the fortunes being reversed just three days on.

Corinthians to Win in the outright market will be the main selection for Saturday’s game. confidence should be high in the camp following Wednesday’s comfortable win over the very same opponents. Corinthians to win 2-0 will form the correct score prediction for this one – all four of Corinthians home wins this season have come in games where they have kept a clean sheet.
