Corinthians form and stats

31 points is a decent return from 14 Serie A games here at Neo Química Arena for Corinthians. The data says 9 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

A nice win for Corinthians last time playing, versus Atletico GO. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Guedes and Alberto scoring for the victors. Finally, a league win after three matches without. Alberto (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.7/10. Alberto scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Prior to that, an away loss at América Mineiro.

The manager Pereira will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventude in only three days.

Corinthians are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. From these home matches, Corinthians have conceded only 7 goals.
