Against All Odds: Corinthians to slip up at Bragantino SP

Corinthians have been better at home lately

It's Copa do Brasil action for Paul Robinson tonight as he feels that Corinthians can be opposed at the current prices for their trip to Bragantino SP.

Bragantino SP v Corinthians
Thursday August 28, 02:00 BST

Bragantino looked down and out after the first leg of their third round tie with neighbours, Sao Paulo, but a magnificent performance at Morumbi saw them come from a goal down to win the match 3-1 and progress 4-3 on aggregate.

Paulo Csar Gusmo's side are struggling in the league as the Serie B team are down in 19th place with only 16 points. It is worth noting though that they have games in hand over nearly all the clubs above them and a couple of wins would push them right up the table. A further thing to consider is that they've won their last two in front of their own fans.

Corinthians are enjoying a decent campaign after enduring a disappointing time of things in 2013. That was under the guidance of Tite and while he did enjoy some great times at the club, things started to turn a little stale.

Mano Menezes is the new man in charge and he has his team up in fourth place in Serie A and through to this round of the Copa do Brasil. 'Timo' were beaten at the weekend though and they have a big clash with Fluminense coming up on Sunday. 

The former World Club Cup champions have only won one of their last five on the road - scoring just two goals - and that includes trips to Coritiba, Bahia and Vitoria who are the bottom three in the division.

The visitors are a very short price here so with their odds trading at around the 1.4740/85 mark, I have to make them my lay of the day.
