Argentinos Juniors vs Corinthians Prediction: The hosts will not lose

The third round of the Copa Sudamericana group stage approaches with Corinthians hoping to extend their unbeaten streak in the Copa Sudamericana as they prepare to take on Argentinos Juniors on Wednesday. Corinthians is still yet to lose a game since the start of the competition while Argentinos Juniors have lost a game and won one. Our prediction for this game leans towards a high number of corners and few goals scored. Please see our carefully prepared tips for you below. 

Argentinos Juniors started their Copa Sudamericana campaign with a remarkable 2-3 victory over Nacional Asunción in their Group F opener which took them to the top of Group F. However, their second and most recent game of the prestigious competition against Racing Club ended in defeat for Argentinos Juniors as they were outclassed by Racing Club who took no offense in battering Argentinos Juniors' defense line. Next in line is the game against Corinthians and they’ll be hoping for a comeback victory at the Diego Armando Maradona. 

Argentinos Juniors have remained active in the Copa de Liga Profesional playoffs, where they have achieved positive results and they are also eager for the resumption of the Argentinian league next month. Their overall statistics in the competition is a win and a loss from two games played.

Corinthians is currently struggling and unable to fight for the title. The club is said to be struggling financially and they are also yet to win a league game since the league's commencement earlier this month. Their Copa Sudamericana journey on the other hand has been a bit impressive as they are yet to lose a game in the competition with a victory and a draw from two games played in the Copa Sudamericana. Their opening game of the Copa Sudamericana against Racing ended in a 1-1 draw while their second and most recent game against Nacional Asunción ended in a 4-0 victory, taking them to the top of Group F. It would be a great deal if Corinthians maintain their unbeaten record and secure a win or draw in this game against Argentinos Juniors but it would be a tough one. 

Both teams met at the Group stage of the Copa Libertadores last season and Argentinos Juniors won the first leg encounter while the second leg ended in a goalless draw. 

Corinthians have their internal issues as a club but they appear ready to uphold their unbeaten run in the Copa Sudamericana. Argentinos Juniors on the other hand is looking for their second win of the competition and they also have the advantage of their 12th player which is the fans as they are playing on their home ground. We believe that the hosts will not lose this game and we also expect a cagy game. Secondly, we can bank on the corner options as both teams will be high on the offensive which will ultimately produce a high number of corners.
