Copa do Brasil semi-finals tonight

[pattymayo]

Anyone with any thoughts on these two games?

5dimes has
Vasco de Gama +713
Corinthians -188
draw +294

Not sure why Vasco is getting +713... they tied 1-1 in the first leg. Corinthians at home though.

Internacional +148
Coritiba +192
draw +252

Inter won first leg 3-1 at home, they're on the road now.

is there aggregate involved here too?

Patty the Copo do Brasil is famous for its upsets, Vasco will get pretty good odds because they are one of the biggest teams in Brasil with a legendary status. However, they had a shocking last year and got relegated for the first time, their worst performance for over a century.

This has the makings of an intense match, I'm leaning towards there being a few goals at least in this game. Its a 2nd leg game, the first leg was a 1-1 draw so Vasco have no option but to get at least a goal. Corinthians will want to give the fans something at home against another big side, plus Ronaldo is on the team and he's getting back in form. It would be great to see one of the greatest strikers doing what he does best!

Over 2.5 goals.

yup ive got the over in this one too. vasco need to score to to have a chance. they will come into this match with an attacking mindset opening up the counter attack. i followed vasco last season and there matches were notorious for lots of goals. 3.37 avg to be exact:
