Our prediction for Corinthians vs Novorizontino
The São Paulo club finished just one win behind their city neighbors last season (they had 56 points, "São Paulo" had 59), which left them in seventh place. Their opponents from the metropolitan suburbs narrowly missed promotion to the top division in 2024. With equal points (64 each), they lost the head-to-head race with Ceará for fourth place and remained in Serie B.
In the new campaign, Dorival Júnior's side became champions of the Paulista League, but in the Copa Libertadores qualifiers, after prevailing over Venezuelan club USC, they lost to Barcelona Guayaquil. Moving into the Copa Sudamericana, they also started with a defeat, then alternated between draws and a home win over Racing. In Montevideo, they managed a narrow win, and then repeated a 1-0 result against Santos. The current visitors, as expected, were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the state championship by São Paulo. In Serie B, after a solid start, they faded somewhat and even lost to Atlético Goianiense, but managed to beat Athletic Club 2-0.
In the cup, the club knocked out Rio Branco Vitória (3-1 away) and Operário-VG (1-0 at home), but then lost at home to an early goal from Hernandez. With this away win, Charles and his team started their cup journey.
