Argentinos Juniors vs Corinthians Prediction and Betting Tips | May 24rd 2023
Argentinos Juniors and Corinthians go head to head at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in Group E of the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.
The Brasileiro Serie A side are currently on a seven-match winless run and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Argentinos Juniors’ 100% record in the Copa Libertadores came to an end on May 2, when they were held to a goalless draw by Uruguayan side Liverpool.
Prior to that, Gabriel Milito’s men got their campaign underway with a 1-0 victory over Independiente on April 4, two weeks before edging out Corinthians 1-0 at the Neo Química Arena.
With seven points from three matches, Argentinos Juniors currently sit at the top of Group E, four points and two places above Thursday’s visitors.
Corinthians, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot last Sunday as they were beaten 1-0 by Flamengo in the Brasileiro Serie A.
Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s side have now failed to win their last seven matches in all competitions, a run which saw them crash out of the Copa do Brasil courtesy of a 2-0 loss against Atletico Mineiro on May 18.
Corinthians, who are on a run of two back-to-back defeats in the Copa Libertadores, will be looking to arrest their slump and get their continental campaign back on track.
