Corinthians faces Atlético-GO, at 21:30 (Brasília time) this Wednesday, at Antônio Accioly Stadium, in a first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil.
Jorginho can bring five changes to the knockout match. In the last training session, Wanderson, Dudu, Jefferson, Baralhas and Peglow were new in the vacancies of Camutanga, Hayner, Arthur Henrique, Willian Maranhão and Airton, respectively.
Vítor Pereira has reinforcements for this match. Fausto Vera, Argentine midfielder announced last Tuesday, is registered and traveled with the squad to Goiânia. It’s another option for a midfield that has Maycon, Du Queiroz, Cantillo, Roni and Giuliano. Cássio, recovered from pain, should return to the goal. Fagner and Maycon could be spared, as both have recently returned from injuries. Up front, Willian, Róger Guedes and Yuri Alberto tend to form a mobile attacking trio.
(2.90) Atlético-GO x Olimpia (2.60): predictions and prognosis
Both teams score – Yes: First of all, the visitors have a good defense, and their offense has scored regularly. On the other hand, even with the bad phase of the home team, the team has corresponded on the field, in the knockout competitions. In this way, it is expected that the visitors will be able to dominate the match, however, the home team should create good scoring opportunities. Therefore, the best bet is that both score.
Under 3.5 goals: In short, more than three goals have rarely been scored in the last matches of the two teams. Thus, only in one game, in the last five of the hosts, more than three goals were scored. Likewise, the visitors had more than three goals in just two matches. Therefore, the best bet, under 3.5 goals.
Win or draw Corinthians: Of course, we know that Atlético Goianiense will try to pressure their rival. But, as Timão is technically superior, and is better integrated. Therefore, the tendency is for visitors to get a good result. But when it comes to knockout competition, we can always expect surprises. Therefore, the best bet is a draw or a win for the visitors.
