In the first leg, teams were tied 1-1.
Corinthians and Portuguesa-RJ define who advances to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The teams face each other at 21:30 (Brasília time) this Wednesday, at the Neo Química Arena.
On the first leg, in Londrina-PR, the teams drew 1-1. Now, another tie (by any score) takes the decision to penalties. It will be the second match in the history between the two clubs. Portuguesa-RJ, by the way, participates for the first time in the Copa do Brasil.
Thinking about the sequence and eyeing the classification, Vítor Pereira should use a mixed team. In addition, embezzlement gets in the way. Róger Guedes is out for a knee inflammation, and Fagner and Jô are still recovering. Gil and Bruno Melo were spared. With this, it is possible to see players who play more on the field, like Maycon, alongside others who play less, like Giuliano, Gustavo Mosquito and Júnior Moraes.
Since the first game, on April 20, Portuguesa has had three commitments for Série D of the Brasileirão. That’s two games less than Corinthians in this interval. The team from Rio intends to use this to equalize the game. George, goalkeeper who played against Timão in the first match, is missing. The player deluxed his shoulder in a tackle with forward Wesley.
(1.11) Corinthians x Portuguesa-RJ (26.00); hunches and predictions
Both teams score (no): due to the technical superiority of Corinthians, the tendency is for the home team to dominate. Therefore, one of the most sought-after predictions of the game is goals for only one of the teams.
More than 1.5 goals: due to the technical superiority of Corinthians, the home team must create a high number of scoring chances. Therefore, another very likely guess is at least 2 goals in the final score of the game.
Less than 0.5 goals for Portuguesa: playing away from home and technically inferior, Portuguesa should create little offensively. With this, the probability of the visiting team not scoring goals is relatively high.
