Corinthians form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Corinthians have to build on here at Arena Corinthians in the Serie A.
Corinthians travelled for their previous game, a trip to Atlético GO that ended 1-1. A 1-1 draw away in the Copa do Brasil before that, with América Mineiro the opponent.

The records show 3-0-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Atlético's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Atlético are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Serie A against Flamengo (placed 3rd). Prior to that match, the Atlético Mineiro manager J. Sampaoli Moya faced defeat when travelling to Palmeiras and losing 0-3.
As mentioned above, Atlético Mineiro was the only team on the pitch versus Flamengo in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A new game in only four days for Atlético Mineiro, the Serie A home match versus Atletico PR. Busy days.
Atlético Mineiro have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 10 goals have been scored. Atlético Mineiro struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games.
