Corinthians form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Neo Química Arena as Corinthians have scored 21 goals to get 34 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 10-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Corinthians bring valid hopes of a third.

The Corinthians manager Pereira and his gang return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Juventude (placed 20th). The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Alberto, having bagged a goal in three consecutive games. Giuliano (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.43/10. Giuliano scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 69 successful passes (of 80 total).

Before that, Corinthians had a home game versus Cuiaba which ended with a victory 2-0.

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 8 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Corinthians, as the Copa do Brasil home game vs Flamengo is only four days away.

Corinthians are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 15 games. Defensively Corinthians have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (7 in 15 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
