Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

In a Copa do Brasil contest that could prove to be an enjoyable affair in midweek, Corinthians will host Santos in the early hours of Thursday.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another impressive display, Corinthians do find themselves enjoying an extended purple patch. In their 13 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, four draws and just a pair of defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 10 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 25, they currently find themselves sat second in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them off of top spot. As for their recent run of results, once again picking up a deserved victory a few days ago, Corinthians have lost just one of their previous 15 matchups across all formats. However, it should also be highlighted, Thursday’s hosts have seen five of their last six home fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals, a run that stems back to the start of May.

As for the visitors, last seen having to settle for a single point once again, Santos have really gained the reputation as a recent stalemate specialist. In their 13 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins, six draws and three defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 13 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 18, they currently find themselves sat eighth in the standings and just three points adrift of breaking into the Copa Libertadores group stage places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 2-2 draw at home against Bragantino, Santos have now played out a draw in four of their last five contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Thursday’s guests seeing each of their previous five matchups finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
