Santos vs Corinthians: We are betting on Timao

Santos will battle Corinthians in the fifteenth round of the Brazil Football Championship. These teams are almost in the same position in the championship standings and can participate in the Libertadores Cup. Bookmakers are on Santos’ side, but we should consider that Corinthians beat Santos with a score of 2-0 in the state championship.

After losing in the away match to Juazeirense with a score of 0-2, Santos made it to the next round of the Brazilian Cup. At the same time, in the national championship, they have won and lost once in their last two games, and both of them, the matches ended with a total under 1.5 goals. Atletico Go defeated Santos 0-1, and after that, the team from Vila Belmiro beat Chapecoense 1-0. As a result,  Santos is in 8th position in the standings of Serie A after 14 rounds played, with 19 points, 4 points behind Athletico Paranaense. Santos is in the sixth position in the division standings: +4=2-1, 9-3 goal difference. In general, Santos is not considered a strong team when playing at home.

Corinthians dropped out of the South American Cup and the Brazilian Cup. It's the start of the season, and Timão is already forced to concentrate on the national championship. And even here they aren't very successful, they got only one victory in the last four games, with three defeats, against Fortaleza, Atletico Mineiro, and Flamengo. Timao had an extremely difficult schedule in July and August, and we cannot disagree with that fact. The results are not good, but at the same time, Corinthians is only in 11th position in the standings of the Brazilian championship. Playing as guests, Corinthians are in fourth place in the division standings with only one defeat in seven games against Fortaleza. This nuance should definitely be taken into account, we would not be surprised if Timao take the points from Santos.

We believe that Corinthians is underestimated, this team performs well playing as guests in contrast to Santos, which are not the best playing at home, and in general, they are not performing well. We offer the following odds for the game: W2 + H(+1.5)  for 1.188, TO 2.5 for 2.50, Both teams to score - No for 1.75.
