Corinthians come into the second leg at home after securing a valuable 1-0 away win in the first leg, giving them the edge in this Copa do Brasil quarter-final. Their head-to-head record over Athletico Paranaense favours Corinthians, with 11 wins out of their last 25 meetings compared to just four for Athletico. While Athletico battles form in Série B, Corinthians are focused and confident. Given their strong home form at Neo Química Arena and the defensive discipline they bring to knockout ties, backing Corinthians at 1.97 looks both sensible and value-driven.
