Football Bet of the Day: Corinthians to get in the spirit of things

Corinthians v Atletico MG
Thursday 23:30

Brazil last night was nothing less than we dreamt of.

Palmeiras 1 Criciuma 0. Under 2.5 Goals and we move across town with a spring in our step.

Corinthians are an Under 2.5 Goals machine. Usually.

Go back to the beginning of last season and you'll see they went on a run of 16 clean sheets in 20 home games. Mighty impressive stuff, but look at the numbers since then: just two shut-outs in their last nine outings at the Arena Corinthians.

At the other end, their own scoring form is as good as it's been for a while: they've hit the back of the net at least once in all nine of those recent games.

Tonight's visitors are Atletico Mineiro. The Roosters' boss, Levir Kulpi, came in at the start of this season and, until a goalless draw at Coritiba last time out, both teams had scored in every single one of their away games (eight in total).

We acknowledge that, yes, Jo will probably be leading the Atletico line and that that is not a good thing for this bet, but the price is right.
