- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Sunday, 16th June, 2024
- Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo)
On Sunday evening, 361st Classico Majestoso, between Corinthians and Sao Paulo, will take place at Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo.
Last year, Corinthians had a pretty bad season, finishing 13th and barely securing the Copa Sudamericana. This season, even though they are doing well in Cup competitions (domestic and continental), they are once again struggling in Serie A. In the Copa Sudamericana, they reached the knockout phase, and in the domestic Cup, they reached the 1/8 Finals. However, in Serie A, after the first eight rounds, the popular Timao are 15th, with only six points - just one away from the danger zone.
Last year, Sao Paulo were only slightly better than Corinthians in the league. Still, we must call the season a success since they won the domestic Cup and secured Copa Libertadores. This year, after a rocky start where they lost the first two Serie A games, the Tricolor Paulista started playing well in all competitions. Right now, they are 5th in Serie A, only three points away from the top spot. Additionally, like Corinthians, they are doing great in the domestic and continental Cup competitions.
Corinthians vs Sao Paulo pick: Sao Paulo to (AH 0) win
Corinthians have been simply terrible in Serie A, winning only against struggling Fluminense in the first eight rounds. If we look at their games against the top teams like Flamengo and Botafogo, we can see that Corinthians had massive problems, losing both games while failing to score on both occasions. Generally speaking, Corinthians have big problems offensively, as they have scored only five goals so far, which is tied with Gremio and Internacional for the worst in the league. So, even scoring a goal might be a problem for Corinthians.
Sao Paulo had a bad start to the season, losing the first two league games and three of the first four in all competitions. However, they have been unbeaten for 12 games and have an incredible 75% win rate. Even in matches they failed to win (against Palmeiras, Internacional, and Barcelona SC), Tricolor Paulista were a better team and deserved a win. So, a 12-game winning streak wasn't too far.
This year, these teams met in the state league, with Sao Paulo winning 2:1. Additionally, Sao Paulo have won the last three h2h games. Considering all the above, we believe the visitors are closer to winning the upcoming Classico Majestoso.
