Corinthians form and stats

Corinthians was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Copa do Brasil. Flamengo was too strong.

When playing at home in the Serie A, Corinthians have managed 2 wins, 4 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.

A strong away win for Corinthians against Vasco da Gama the last match, as Gustavo Mantuan were on target. Before that game, the home loss against Flamengo with the scoreline 1-5.

Cássio loved the game against Vasco da Gama. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-1 victory.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Corinthians matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, two draws and two defeats (from six games).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Internacional are coming to town in three days.

Corinthians has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Corinthians defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

América Mineiro form and stats

América Mineiro's mission in Copa do Brasil last season failed in the 2nd round.

América Mineiro's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed América Mineiro collect 18 points from their 9 away matches in the Serie B. 5 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Total Copa do Brasil statistics for América Mineiro: 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Corinthians. América has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Impressive finishing from Ademir and Anderson secured the home win 2-1 against Confianca in their previous game. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Brasil de Pelotas in the Serie B.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of América Mineiro when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.

The schedule is very tough for América now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Avai is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting América as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. América's manager L. Cirne Lima de Lorenzi has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 4 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's four Corinthians victories, one draw and one América Mineiro win. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
