A place in the Copa do Brasil semifinals will be at stake when Corinthians and Athletico Paranaense meet in São Paulo on Thursday morning. The two sides met at the Arena da Baixada last week, with Corinthians picking up a win by a goal difference of just one. The Hurricane therefore have a chance of staging a comeback this week.

The two sides have faced each other ten times since 2021. Corinthians had the upper hand in that spell, winning six times and also kept four clean sheets. Athletico Paranaense registered just one win, with three games ending in a draw. The average number of goals per game during this period was 2.5.
Corinthians team overview
After 22 games in the 2025 Brazilian top flight campaign, Corinthians have won only six times, with just two defeats separating them from last season's total of 11.
The Great Team have won only one of their last eight league games, but they are performing well in the Copa do Brasil. Dorival Júnior’s team eliminated Palmeiras in the round of 16 and already hold a one-goal advantage from the first leg of their quarter-final tie with Athletico PR.
André Carrillo (ankle), Yuri Alberto (groin), José Martínez (hand) and Matheuzinho (hamstring) will be unavailable this week due to injury.

Athletico PR team overview
Meanwhile, Athletico Paranaense sit sixth in the Brazilian Serie B after 25 games. The Hurricane have won 10 games, but have also lost more games (8) than any other team in the top eight.
Odair Hellmann’s team have played two league games since losing the first leg of their cup tie with Corinthians, and their performance was excellent. They beat Novorizontino and Botafogo 5–2 on aggregate, and will be hoping for more of the same this week.
However, the fact that Athletico Paranaense have won only two of their last six away games, and that their record against Corinthians is also poor, will be a major setback. Julimar is ruled out with a knee problem.

Prediction
Corinthians are the favourites but they have not been in great form at home recently. The Great Team have won just one of their last seven games at this ground whilst suffering two defeats. Given that they are taking on an Athletico PR side that has won its last two away games, Thursday’s match could be a close one, and I am expecting a low-scoring draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Five of the last eight games of Athletico PR ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Only three of the last 12 games of Corinthians produced 3+ goals.
- 7 of the last 9 meetings between Corinthians and Athletico ended with under 2.5 goals.
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
