National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Corinthians or Santos that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Corinthians form and stats
Last season, Corinthians's Paulista A1 journey ended in the finals.10 victories, 7 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Corinthians have to build on here at Arena Corinthians in the Serie A. 1W-1D-1L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Paulista A1 for Corinthians.
The fans are hoping that Corinthians will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Paulista A1 game against Ponte Preta. Before that, Corinthians played out a Paulista A1 draw 1-1 when visiting Mirassol.
This is expected to be a close game, with Corinthians perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Corinthians as a small favourite), we find nine games. Corinthians has won four of these, drawn four and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Corinthians as they are travelling to their away game against Guarani in the Copa Libertadores. That match is three days after this one.
The Corinthians fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 19 matches. From these home matches, Corinthians have conceded only 13 goals.
Santos form and stats
Last season their Paulista A1 adventure ended in the semi-finals against Corinthians.8-4-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Santos in their Serie A matches away. When we have look at the Paulista A1 statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Santos have lost on their last two travels.
Santos go into this game after a win, the home game against Inter de Limeira that ended 2-0. Preceding that game was the away Paulista A1 victory against Guarani with the score of 2-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santos playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Santos wins, three draws and three defeats.
The attacking power of Santos when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 19 league matches away. Santos are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 18 times in 19 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
