5-7-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Corinthians so far this season.

Corinthians drew their last game, 3-3 away at Fluminense (placed 9th). A disappointing finish for Corinthians in their match versus Fluminense as their 3-1 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. The Corinthians goalkeeper Cássio was crucial in the match against Fluminense last time out, making seven saves. The attacker Alberto was declared "man of the match" for Corinthians with a rating of 8.05/10. Alberto scored two goals.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Flamengo.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Corinthians's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 5 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

América Mineiro form and stats

América Mineiro have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 0-5-8 (13 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved América Mineiro have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

América Mineiro might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Botafogo proved too strong as América slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio. The attacker Mastriani got a match rating of 7.61 in that game. Mastriani served one assist and hit three key passes.

A 2-3 defeat away at Fortaleza before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and América Mineiro playing away, we found 11 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 8 home wins.

Betting fact: Both teams have scored goal(s) in 14 of this club's last 18 league fixtures.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the América manager Bustos as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Atletico PR.

América Mineiro have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. The América Mineiro manager Bustos has some worries about the defense as 31 goals have been conceded in these travels.
