Corinthians take on the visitors Boca Juniors in the first leg of the round of last 16 match of Copa Libertadores. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 29th at Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo).
Corinthians is having a rather successful start season. Timau is one of the most popular and ambitious clubs in Brazil. And the 5th place in 2021, apparently, did not particularly satisfy the ambitions of both the leadership and the fans. To fix this and make progress, Vitor Pereira was called. Not immediately, the Portuguese began to please everyone, but, having got used to it, he raised his new wards among the leaders of Serie A. And even earlier, the Brazilians were able to get into the playoffs of the Copa Libertadores. Although not without problems: Corinthians scored 9 points there, only 1 ahead of Deportivo Cali. But, most importantly, they managed to achieve the implementation of the basic task - and further advancement in the tournament should be ensured by progress in the "timau" game.

Boca Juniors has already managed to win the first trophy in 2022. "Genoese" in the last draw of Liga Profesional slipped from 1st place to 4th - a failure, as by the standards of such a giant. But at the same time, the management continued to trust the inexperienced just in the role of coach Sebastian Battaglia. And it justified this spring, when the grand was able to regain the status of the winner of Copa Diego Maradona. Also, the Argentines were able to win their group in the Copa Libertadores. By the way, they played there in the same quartet with Corinthians. Boca proved to be the strongest, winning three times and scoring 10 points. Relatively well it turned out for the favorite and start in the new draw Examples. Although there were not without problems, what is the defeat with a score of 0-1 Central Cordoba worth.
This spring, Corinthians was good just in fights with Boca Juniors - a win at home and a draw away. It is curious that earlier in this pair the clubs scored 4 points in the meetings: in 2012, there were also Brazilians, and a year later, the Argentines were already better. In this pair, the home team has never lost. We dare to believe that it will remain so - we bet on the victory of Corinthians.
Prediction for the match: Corinthians to win.
