Another action-packed fixture in Serie A as Corinthians welcome Ceara

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Ceará have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Corinthians form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Arena Corinthians as Corinthians, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Serie A, have scored 10 goals to get 21 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 6-3-0 (wins-draws-losses). Corinthians haven’t lost a game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Santos, 86 days ago. The Corinthians fans aren't used to losing here at Arena Corinthians and will expect new points from this game. Corinthians has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

Corinthians's last game was hosting Atlético Mineiro (placed 7th) and winning 1-0. Before that, Corinthians played out a Copa Sudamericana draw 1-1 when visiting Fluminense.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Corinthians's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won 1 match, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Corinthians are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 attempts. As for guarding their own goal, Corinthians have only let in 2 goals at home.

Ceará form and stats

There's been little loot from Ceará's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Serie A. Ceará only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Ceará as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ceará's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Ceará play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Athletico PR (placed 9th). A loss against Flamengo was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ceará playing away, we found two games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 0 home wins.

Goals are few and far between in Ceará's away league games. Only 4 goals from 8 travels. As opposed to that, Ceará have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 3 - 5 - 2 (Corinthians wins - draws - Ceará wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
