Corinthians form and stats

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Corinthians are 8-5-4 (wins-draw-losses).

Corinthians's last game was hosting Ceara (placed 12th) and winning 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Bahia (1-2).

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 eleven games) they have won five times, drawn four and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Corinthians as they are travelling to their away game against Flamengo in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.
