Corinthians vs Bragantino Predictions
[wptb id=393909]
A Quest for Glory Amidst Contrasting Fortunes
Key Stats
– Corinthians have been a fortress at home, remaining unbeaten in the Brasileiro this season with nine points accrued from two wins and three draws.
– Roger Guedes, the Corinthians striker, is currently leading the charts with 19 goals in all competitions this season.
As we approach the weekend, the focus of the Brasileiro league will be on the pulsating encounter between Corinthians and Bragantino.
Bragantino are on a roll as they are set to make it three consecutive victories in the Brasileiro league, boasting 20 points from their first 12 games. On the other side, Corinthians, former seven-time Brasileiro winners, are in the lower half of the table with 12 points. The last time Corinthians tasted success was in 2017, but the team finished a strong fourth last season, lagging behind champions Palmeiras by 16 points.
Corinthians, led by Vanderlei Luxemburgo, have had a shaky start to the season, reflected in their record of three wins, three draws, and six losses from 12 matches. However, they have shown signs of resurgence with wins over Liverpool and Santos in their recent engagements. Corinthians have managed to remain unbeaten in their home ground, racking up nine points from two wins and three draws.

Bragantino, in contrast, have been red hot, winning three back-to-back matches, including victories over Flamengo and Goias in the league. The team, under the guidance of Pedro Caixinha, has been on an unbeaten streak in all competitions, which extends to five matches. This impressive form has propelled Bragantino to the seventh position in the table.
Analysing the Key Players
For Corinthians, Roger Guedes has been the go-to man for goals, netting 19 times in all competitions this season. Yuri Alberto, second in the scoring charts, is also expected to feature in an attacking role. On the injury front, Corinthians have five players ruled out due to injuries, including Chrystian Barletta, Renato Augusto, Paulinho, Victor Castillo, and Gustavo Silva.
Bragantino, on the other hand, have been dealing with a significant injury list. Key players like Helinho, Talisson, Bruninho, Natan Souza, Luan Candido, Raul, and Leo Ortiz are currently out of action. Despite these setbacks, Eduardo Sasha has stepped up, scoring ten times this season. The team is expected to remain unchanged from their last league match against Goias.
Predictions
Bragantino’s offensive prowess, which has seen them score in 12 consecutive games, and Corinthians’ impressive record of scoring in 16 of their last 17 home games, hint at a high-scoring match. Corinthians’ ability to remain unbeaten at home this season and Bragantino’s impressive form suggest an intriguing match on the cards.
However, digging deeper into the data, our main prediction favours the over 11.5 corners. This is because both Corinthians and Bragantino have aggressive offensive strategies. Both teams are known for their quick, wide play and regular use of crosses into the box, which often results in corner kicks.
Corinthians’ striker Roger Guedes frequently lurks in the opposition box, forcing defenders to clear the ball over the line. Similarly, Bragantino’s Eduardo Sasha is known for his strong aerial presence, prompting opposing teams to concede corners rather than allowing him an attempt on goal.
Moreover, considering that both teams have been enjoying decent form, it’s likely they’ll maintain a high tempo, leading to multiple attacks. With both defences under pressure, more clearances over the end line and thus, more corners, are expected.
An entertaining stalemate looks likely
We are also predicting a 2-2 draw in the correct score market. Corinthians have been solid at home, but they are up against a Bragantino side that have been scoring consistently on the road.
Despite Corinthians’ formidable defence, the current form of Bragantino’s top scorer, Eduardo Sasha, can’t be overlooked. However, with Corinthians’ top scorer Roger Guedes on the pitch, Bragantino’s defence will be equally tested.
Both teams have displayed a knack for late-game heroics this season. As such, a high-scoring draw could be on the cards, given that neither side would want to drop points in this important fixture.
