Competition: Brazil Serie A
Competition: Sat 05.November
Match begins: 23:30 (UTC)
Venue: Neo Química Arena

A win is the only result that will please the Corinthians club members in this Neo Química Arena clash with Ceará, as they have a healthy lead on the away team in the Serie A standings.

Insights:
  • Corinthians have the fewest conceded goals (10) at home in Serie A
  • Ceará have the fewest scored goals in the second half (13) in Serie A

Ceará have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The hosts Corinthians saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Serie A. That game was an away game at Flamengo, so at least Corinthians are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Corinthians form and stats

37 points is a decent return from 17 Serie A games here at Neo Química Arena for Corinthians. The data says 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

A strong away win for Corinthians against Flamengo the last match, as Queiroz and Alberto were on target. Méndez was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.64 out of 10. The defender Méndez served one assist, hit one key pass and won 5 of 9 duels.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Goias the opponent.

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

Corinthians has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. Corinthians have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ceará form and stats

Ceará have only collected 17 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-8-6 (17 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ceará have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Fluminense with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Internacional's place.

Ceará are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

A tale of few goals? 12 of this side's last 15 league rounds have had zero, one or two goals.

Ceará have another fixture away from home in just four days, a Serie A fixture against Avai. A gruelling programme for the visiting team!

The attacking power of Ceará when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 17 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (16 so far).

Head 2 Head

Ceará - Corinthians 3-1 was the scoreline in these teams' latest h2h match, played this season. Statistics for the former ten meetings involving these two contenders are: four wins for Corinthians, one draw and five wins for Ceará. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
