Under 2.5 goals at Santos vs Corinthians 3/5 for Thursday’s Copa do Brasil showdown

Competition: Copa do Brasil

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

Simply looking to finish off the job and extend on their Copa do Brasil run in the early hours of Thursday, Corinthians will make the trip to Corinthians.

Starting with the hosts, while Santos might have managed to make a much-needed return to winning ways last weekend, they have continued to struggle with their consistency. In their 16 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and four defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 15 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they currently find themselves sat eighth in the standings and six points adrift of breaking into the top-four. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win against Atletico GO last time out, that is the only victory that Santos have collected from their previous seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Thursday’s hosts have seen six of their last seven domestic home fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, cruising their way to a first-leg advantage last week, Corinthians will simply be looking to finish off the job here. In their 16 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, five draws and three defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 14 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 29, they find themselves sat second in the table and just a single point adrift of leapfrogging Palmeiras to top spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory against Flamengo on home soil, Corinthians have lost just one of their previous nine matchups across all formats. However, it should also be highlighted, with Thursday’s guests seeing four of their last five matchups finish with under 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
