Corinthians form and stats

Corinthians are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Neo Química Arena. 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 13 games.

Corinthians lost their last game at America Mineiro (placed 8th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten in three league games. Cássio had a busy but productive day in the America Mineiro match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Preceding that match, a home victory against Fluminense in the Copa do Brasil.

Low on goals? Looking at this club's last 21 league games, 16 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Cuiaba in only three days. This game is also played here at Neo Química Arena.

The Corinthians fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Corinthians have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Atlético GO form and stats

Atlético GO have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-4-8 (13 played).

Atlético GO might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Internacional proved too strong as Atlético GO slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Antônio Accioly (Goiânia, Goiás). The attacker Churin got a match rating of 8.0 in that game. Churin scored one goal.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Coritiba wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Atlético manager Baptista as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Avai.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlético GO as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Atlético GO - Corinthians 0-1 was the output when this pair of squads formerly played each other, some time ago this season. Numbers for the preceeding ten meetings between these two sides are: two wins for Corinthians, four draws and four wins for Atlético GO. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.
