Corinthians vs Platense: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Brazilians finished only thirteenth in Serie A. However, they managed to win the national cup that season. Now, the grand club is fighting for survival in the championship. The Argentinians surprised everyone a year earlier by winning the Apertura, but then looked weak in the Clausura and failed to reach the playoffs in the first half of the new Primera.
In the current tournament, the São Paulo club won against all opponents in the first round, each with the same score of 2-0. Only in May did they play out a 1-1 draw away at Santa Fe. In the last round against Peñarol, that draw was repeated.
The team from Florida improved in the Copa after the aforementioned loss at the start. They took four out of six possible points against Peñarol. Against Santa Fe, after a 2-1 home victory, they lost in Colombia by the same scoreline.
