Santos vs Corinthians Prediction

Santos are eighth in the league and have won two of their last five league games. They are seven points behind second-placed Corinthians, but their current form does not bode well. Having lost 4-0 to Corinthians in the first leg of the round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil, Santos have a tough job on their hands in the second leg.

Santos will rely on players like Marcos Leonardo and former Atletico Madrid and Espanyol striker Leo Baptistao to provide attacking impetus. Midfielder Ricardo Goulart could come in useful as well.

Corinthians, on the other hand, are second in the league, one point behind league leaders Palmeiras. They have won two of their last five league games as well. Having scored four goals in the first leg, Corinthians will be confident heading into this tie.

20 - Corinthians haven't lost in their last 20 home games in the Brasileirão (W14 D6); their second longest unbeaten home run under the league format (since 2003), only behind a sequence of 29 games between 2015 and 2016 (W23 D6). Support. https://t.co/xYvdU4kMJE
