The Brazilian Cup begins, a competition that was considered the most democratic of Brazilian soccer, but with changes in the rules, the thing changed its shape. This Wednesday Corinthians goes to Minas Gerais to face Caldense, the match will be at 21:45.
The year for the Corinthians began last weekend, on Saturday the alvinegro debuted on the right foot in the São Paulo championship beating Sao Bento 1-0 away from home.
I could see that the pace of the game is still not ideal, but the team behaved well, commanded the actions most of the game time and was really threatened in a few opportunities.
The technician Fabio Carille prioritizes a very compact team, with good approach of the lines, not giving so much space for the opponent, is a good start.
The base of the team that won the weekend must be maintained.
Caldense have already made two official games this season, both for the championship, the team have a first-round defeat to URT (1-0) away from home, and last weekend won their first match of the year, also 1 -0 on the Vila Nova de Minas Gerais.
The rules of the competition force the winning team to win the match to advance in the competition, which should disadvantage the team that is much lower than Corinthians, and can not remain stuck for long.
Prediction Caldense vs Corinthians:
This change in the rules should provide more intense matches even at the beginning of the competition, both teams should try to score from the start, but I think the best team will win early with the spaces left by Caldense.
Prediction: Corinthians win
Odds: 1.45
