Corinthians take on the visitors Juventude in the second leg of Copa do Brazil quarterfinals. The First leg result: 1-2. The match will be played on Thursday, September 12th at Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo).
Corinthians is a very popular and quite successful club in one of the most football-obsessed countries in the world. They have won the Brazilian championship seven times, with the last title coming seven years ago. However, since then, they have struggled, often finishing mid-table, with their best result being 4th place once. In the current season, the "Musketeers" are at the bottom of the table, leading the relegation zone quartet. Their poor results are largely due to dreadful defensive play, having conceded 31 goals in 25 matches. The "Musketeers" have also won the Brazilian Cup three times. In this year's tournament, they have already reached the quarterfinals. They started their campaign in the Round of 64, eliminating teams like São Bernardo, América Natal (conceding goals in both matches), and Grêmio. In the first leg of this quarterfinal, Corinthians lost to their upcoming opponent, conceding 2 goals.

For most of their history, Juventude has languished in the lower leagues and was relegated from Serie A two seasons ago. However, they immediately bounced back and have stabilized relatively well, sitting in 13th place with 29 goals scored in 25 league matches. In the current Brazilian Cup, Juventude has played six matches, scoring in five of them.
Juventude scored two goals in their first meeting with Corinthians, and they will likely score again. The "Musketeers" have no choice but to score at least once. Juventude, on the other hand, has been excellent on counterattacks this season, scoring in 10 of their last 11 matches against all types of opponents. Meanwhile, Corinthians has failed to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 9 matches. Additionally, they have conceded goals in their last four encounters with Juventude. It's hard to say who will win the match or advance to the semifinals, but based on the available data, it's reasonable to predict that Juventude will find the back of the net against Corinthians once again.
Prediction for the match: Juventude to score – yes.
