Racing Club vs Corinthians Prediction: One last dance

Corinthians may be on their way to the finals as they take on Racing Club in the return leg of their semifinal clash. Both teams fought in the first leg clash which ended in a 2-2 draw. The game is still very open and can go either way but we can not neglect the fact that Racing Club has the home advantage. Again we expect goals from both teams and a minimum of two from either team. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Racing has now lost two games in their last 5 games across all competitions with a win and 2 draws. They lost their most recent league game against Banfield which can be attributed to the resting of key players in preparation for this game. 

Their first leg encounter was a very tough one as the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Salas got the first goal of the game for Racing in the 6th minute, but Yuri Alberto equalized for Corinthians just 5 minutes later. Yuri Alberto once again got the second goal for Corinthians in the 33rd minute but Martirena pulled one back for Racing in the 54th minute to equalize and make it 2-2. Racing had an impressive run so far in the competition as they finished top of their group and also scored the most goals in the group. They are currently 7th in the league with 8 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses from 19 games.

Corinthians are now unbeaten in their last 5 league games, although they are still fighting to escape the relegation zone as they’ve had quite a poor run so far in the league. However, they seem to be in good shape in the Copa Sudamericana. Corinthians beat Fortaleza with a 5-0 aggregate in the quarter-finals. 

Ramón Díaz's men have not lost a game in their last 5 league games across all competitions and their first leg encounter against Racing Club ended in a 2-2 draw. In the Série A, the picture is very different as the Paulistas are in the relegation zone. 

Their last five meetings ended in stalemates. 

Their last five meetings in the Copa Sudamericana ended in draws and with the form of both teams, we will most likely see a draw or both teams finding the net. Racing has the home advantage but the home advantage isn’t just enough to win this game. The first leg produced 4 goals with both teams scoring two goals each, and we expect a similar outcome here. We can bank on a minimum of two goals from either team and both teams finding the net. We can also pitch our tenth on the cards option as we expect a very tough and rough encounter.
