It's early days in the Paulista A1 and both Santos and Corinthians are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Santos have the most conceded goals (8) in Paulista A1
- Corinthians have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (0) in Paulista A1
Corinthians could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa do Brasil game only four sleeps ago.
Santos form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Santos's two home games in the Paulista A1 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estádio Urbano Caldeira.
Santos manager A. Holan and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Deportivo Lara in the Copa Libertadores. Previous to that game, a Paulista A1 home match hosting Ituano in a game that was won 2-1.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Paulista A1 game versus Botafogo SP in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Urbano Caldeira.
Early season league goal statistics from Santos's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.
Corinthians form and stats
The seven points Corinthians have gathered from their first three away trips in the Paulista A1 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Corinthians are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Corinthians goalkeeper Cassio Ramos is eager to challenge this, with his 239 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Corinthians delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Retro (after extra-time, 5-3 on penalties) in their previous match; a Copa do Brasil game. Prior to that result Corinthians won their away game at Mirassol in the Paulista A1. The scoreline was 1-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Corinthians manager V. Carmo Mancini as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ferroviária.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Corinthians defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (0 goals in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Santos, four draws and two wins for Corinthians. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.Santos missing players
