Betting on Sport Club Corinthians Paulista 2022 Série A games

Vítor Pereira, a former midfielder and Portuguese coach, took over in February 2022, signing a contract until the end of the year. Despite a disappointing start to life at Corinthians, which saw his side lose 1-0 to an opening minute goal by city rivals São Paulo, he has since managed to stabilise the team and consolidate their position towards the top of the league as they look to go better than their fifth-place finish last season.

One of the league’s most organised sides, Corinthians will fancy their chances against any of their league rivals as the season comes to a close. They have lost only a few times at the Neo Química Arena this year and have one of the best defensive records in the league.

However, it will be their attacking force that they will be looking to step up if they are to progress in the league. One of their leading scorers is Brazilian talent Guedes, but they will be hoping fellow striker Gustavo Mosquito or 21-year-old Adson can find their form and start to find the back of the net with a little more regularity to try and turn some of the close-fort matches that have ended in draws into wins.

Their challenge for Pereira will be whether he can maintain his squad’s focus on the league when they all have one eye on the final of the Copa do Brasil. We have already seen a lot of squad rotation in an attempt to keep players fresh. Whether this will ultimately be the teams’ downfall in the league remains to be seen.

Betting on Sport Club Corinthians Paulista

Here we look at some interesting match betting opportunities to consider as Corinthians wrap up their season.

Each way first goalscorer

This is an increasingly popular market for football fans across the globe. It’s a variation whereby you are given the chance to win if your player scores the second or even third goal of the game. Here, half your stake is placed against the first goalscorer outright and half on the player being the first, second, or third scorer. With Paulista not having a runaway lead striker and coming up against wavering form, this could be a good way to hedge your bets in the hope of a better chance at securing some winnings.

Card betting

In this market, you can place a stake against the first player to be shown a card, or alternatively, if you are forecasting a clean game with the referee keeping his cards in his pocket, you can opt for no cards being shown. To increase your potential winnings, you can be even more specific about which player you foresee seeing red. Roger Guedes is one of the team’s most booked players this year, but it’s also worth looking at the teams Corinthians will be up against. Matches which see them up against league rivals are always likely to be more heated occasions and therefore may be a reason to predict a card or two being shown. Understating player temperament matters here.

Next manager betting

As the season draws to a close, there are already rumours circulating that club manager Vítor Pereira may no longer be present next year. If this is the case, markets will quickly open, allowing bets to be placed against who may become the next manager. Will you follow the rumours and place an early stake, or will you wait until the rumours become more certain? For those looking to place a longer-term bet and catch the best odds, there are rumours that Brazil’s coach, Tite, could be in line when he leaves the National set up after the World Cup in Qatar.

With lots to consider and the distraction of the Copa do Brasil in the final run-in, it is certain to be an interesting end to the season for Corinthians. Now is the time to place your stake against how you think the team and their players will fair in either outright or in-game betting markets.
