Corinthians vs Cruzeiro Prediction: The Timão is very confident

Corinthians will host Cruzeiro in Round 34, seeking a fifth consecutive win. The Paulistas were in the relegation zone a few rounds ago and are now in 11th place. The worst seems to be behind them, but no g✱oals have yet been achieved. Corinthians could still qualify for the Copa Lib🌠ertadores, a scenario that not even the most optimistic fan would expect.

Corinthians

The Timão picked up a crucial 2-1 win on the road against Vitória and can now breathe a little easier. Corinthians has 41 points, and the relegation zon💖e is four points below. The gap isn't huge, but there are five teams between the São Paulo club and the Z4, which, for now, gives some peace of mind. If Corinthians secures its fifth straight win against Cruzeiro, the chances of relegation will dim🍒inish considerably as there will only be four more rounds left to play in the Brasileirão.

Cruzeiro

The Fox defeated Criciúma at home by 2-1, the first league win under Fernando Diniz. The Miners scored through Kaio Jorge and Gabriel Veron in the 9th and 70th minutes, respectively, but suffered in the final moments after Cricíuma's goal in the 82nd minute. Cruzeiro is in seventh place with 47 points, and its target is to maintain this position as sixth place seems impossible to reach. Diniz will change his starting eleven as Cruzeiro will play Racing in the Copa Sudamericana final this weeke♏nd, a competition the Belo Horizonte club has never won. If Cruzeiro wins, it will secure qualification for the Copa Libertadores.

Expert Betting Tips

Corinthians is the clear favorite, not only because it's in excellent form but also because Cruzeiro won't be at full strength. The Miners will play in the Copa Sudamericana final next weekend, so this league match is not a priorit🧜y. The odds for a Corinthians victory are very low, so I'm placing a less conventional b꧙et. I'm betting that Yuri Alberto will score at some point.
