Corinthians form and stats

3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Paulista A1 numbers at home for Corinthians so far this season. Corinthians has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Neo Química Arena. We remember; it was Santos.

Corinthians's last game was hosting Ponte Preta and winning 3-0.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Sao Paulo.

Corinthians are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found seven matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won five, drew two and lost zero.

The Corinthians fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. From these home matches, Corinthians have conceded only 3 goals.

Ponte Preta form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Paulista A1 travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Ponte Preta are travelling again after losing away to Corinthians in their previous match (0-3).

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Agua Santa.

The attacking power of Ponte Preta when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Corinthians four wins, two draws and Ponte Preta four victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.
