Corinthians vs Argentinos Prediction and Betting Tips

Corinthians entertain Argentinos at the Neo Quimica Arena in the CONMEBOL Libertadores on Wednesday (April 19).

The two teams made the grade on matchday one in Group E. Corinthians hammered Liverpool FC 3-0 in Montevideo, while Argentinos humbled Independiente del Valle at home 1-0. Both teams have three points apiece. Their upcoming meeting is expected to be a high-voltage affair.

Timao launched their campaign in the Brazilian Serie A with a 2-1 home win over Cruzeiro on Sunday, leaving them in seventh spot. Manager Fernando Lazaro is upbeat about his side’s chances against Argentinos, perhaps due to Corinthians’ sound home record - unbeaten in eight games.

Argentinos, meanwhile, have had an impressive streak, posting only two losses in their last ten games across ompetitions. The visitors are returning to the Copa Libertadores after missing the previous edition, as they failed to qualify. Gabriel Avalos is one of the players manager Gabriel Milito is counting on for his continental campaign.

The Paraguayan striker leads El Bicho with seven goals and one assist. He's also among the second-top scorers of the Argentine Primera División. “A win or a draw”, says the manager as they travel to Sao Paulo. They have won once and drawn twice in their last five away games.
