Competition: Brazil Serie A
Market: Corinthians win
Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport
Hoping to extend their buffer at the top of the Serie A table late on Sunday night, Corinthians will welcome America MG to the Neo Química Arena.
Starting with the hosts, while Corinthians might have once again had to settle for a single point on Copa Libertadores duties earlier in the week, the Timão should still find the mood in their camp at a real high. Opening Sunday’s Serie A fixtures holding a two-point buffer at the top of the table, Head Coach Vítor Pereira has seen his side gain a host of plaudits from across Brazil. With many tipping the São Paulo-based outfit as a leading pick to claim their first top-flight crown since 2017, it should also be highlighted that Corinthians have lost just one of their opening seven Serie A contests this season. Smelling the chance to widen their buffer late on Sunday night, the former Fenerbahçe boss has also seen his squad continue to shine on home soil. On a run that stems all the way back to August 1st, Corinthians are unbeaten in their last 15 straight top-flight home fixtures.
As for the visitors, while the Timão might be enjoying an eye-catching run since opening the 2022 campaign, America MG are in the midst of a real rut. Last seen earlier in the week when getting hit with a 3-0 drumming against Ecuadorian outfit Independiente del Valle in the Copa Libertadores, they have now failed to win any of their last four matchups across all formats. Knowing that they will face a stern test when they make the trip to São Paulo on Sunday night, Head Coach Vagner Mancini should also be worried by his side’s downbeat record against the Serie A title contenders. Despite snatching a 1-1 draw when the two sides faced off back in September, it should be noted that America MG have won just one of their previous eight showdowns against Corinthians, a run that stems back to 2011.
Bet: Corinthians 4/6 to beat America MG in Sunday’s Brazil Serie A battle @ 888sport
