    I guess its mainly due to the altitude....Oruro where San Jose play is over 3,700 metres above sea level compared to Sao Paulo which is 780 metres above sea level

      Hmmm...interesting. Would this make for higher scoring or lower scoring? Not as much oxygen = not as much strike power but not as much speed to get back on D

        Depends on how the home team approach the game I guess. They are playing Corinthians afterall so may play cautiously and settle for a draw, while Corinthians obviously wont be looking to play a fast game. So based on that I'd say low scoring but you never know...Sao Paulo played Bolivar away at end of Jan in La Paz (similar altitude to Oruro) and went 3-0 up after 35mins then ended up losing 4-3!

        The last time San Jose played in the Copa Libertadores back in 2008 they had Santos in their group. They beat Santos 2-1 at home, then went and lost 7-0 to Santos in BRazil a couple weeks later so I think that shows what effect the high altitude advantage can have!

            corinthians is very solid in defense, and got better offensivly this year, compared to last year
            corinthians ah 0 at even money or +0.25 at 1.75 seems about right
