Corinthians form and stats
Corinthians's struggle is real here at Neo Química Arena with only 9 points collected from 9 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4.
Corinthians shared the glory with Atletico GO in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Midfield player Gabriel Pereira got a match rating of 7.8 in that game, the max score being 10. Pereira scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 23 successful passes (of 26 total).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Juventude that ended 1-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Corinthians have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won five times, drawn five and lost four.
Corinthians are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Corinthians have conceded 12 in these home matches.
América Mineiro form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for América Mineiro so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for América Mineiro who have played out draws in their last three away games.
182 minutes! That's how long the América goalkeeper Matheus Fernando Cavichioli and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
América had fun at their own home (Neo Química Arena) last time out, beating Atletico PR 2-0. Lucas Kal and Felipe Azevedo scored. Juninho got a match rating of 7.74 in that game, top player of the team. Juninho served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, América Mineiro secured a home win against Ceara with the score 2-0.América are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and one defeat. From a total of five matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far América have scored 8 goals in 8 league games away. As for defending, América rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 15 goals from these away matches.
