Football Predictions
The 2023 quarter-final stage of the Copa Sudamericana will begin on Tuesday when Corinthians host Estudiantes at Corinthians Arena in the first-ever competitive meeting between both clubs.
Timao held Newell’s Old Boys off the scoresheet in the second leg of that round of 16 tie, advancing 2-1 on aggregate, while the Argentines had no trouble getting past Goias, winning 2-0 in that return engagement and eliminating the Brasileiro Serie A side 5-0 on aggregate.
H2H/Stats
This will be the first-ever competitive meeting between the two clubs.
Team News
Corinthians could be without Fagner for this opening encounter as he is not expected to return from a calf injury until early September. From leg one to leg two in the last 16, Luxemburgo made four changes to his starting 11, bringing in Caetano, Gil, Fausto Vera, and Wesley into the fold in place of Fagner, Murillo, Matheus Araujo and Guilherme Biro.
Estudiantes on the other hand are unlikely to have Zaid Romero and Emmanuel Mas available until early September because of ankle issues, while Guido Carrillo and Matias Godoy are expected to return around that same time from muscle injuries. Benjamin Rollheiser had three goals in their round of 16 tie, including a brace in the opening leg, while Mariano Andujar only had to make one save in each of those encounters for a clean sheet.
Probable Line-Ups
Corinthians XI: Cassio; Mendez, Gil, Caetano, Santos; Giuliano, Maycon, Oliveira; Adson, Alberto, Romero
Estudiantes XI: Andujar; Noguera, Lollo, Fernandez; Godoy, Veron, Rodriguez, Ascacibar, Benedetti; Rollheiser; Mendez
Verdict
This will be another chance for both clubs to increase their chances of winning silverware. While Corinthians will be doing everything to win this match ahead of their second leg away from home, this is a tie that will have a close call.
