Santos will host Corinthians in the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the Brazilian Cup. Will the owners be able to recoup?
"Santos"
In fact, it will be very difficult for Santos to return to the fight for a ticket to the 1/4 finals, since he gave his opponent too much head start in the first match. With a score of 0-4, the black-and-whites lost, so now only an outstanding comeback will save them. To be honest, there are very few prerequisites for this. After 0-4 from Corinthians, the Santos players won only one victory in five matches, and even that was not without difficulty - 1-0 over Atletico Goyanense.
Corinthians
To be honest, Corinthians is already one foot in the quarterfinals. Yes, he does not demonstrate the most confident and high-quality football this season, but there are no serious failures on his part. Even if the return match is lost, it is unlikely to be with a big score. Before the second cup match, Corinthians won in Serie A, beating Flamengo (1-0).
Statistics and figures:
- Santos won one of the previous seven games;
- Corinthians have lost in one of the last nine matches;
- In the first match, Corinthians turned out to be stronger (4-0).
Forecast
Santos will go on the attack from the first minutes and will try to reduce the gap in the score. Corinthians will have the opportunity to play on counterattacks, one of which must be implemented.
