Competition: Brazil Serie A

Venue: Neo Química Arena

Corinthians have been better than Cuiabá this season, but every match begins at 0-0. Here's all the data you require ahead of kickoff:

Insights:
  • Corinthians have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Cuiabá have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (10) in Serie A

These are hustling days for the hometeam, as they played only three days ago in the Serie A. That game was an away game at Atletico Mineiro, so at least Corinthians are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Cuiabá have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Corinthians form and stats

The complete Serie A statistics playing at home this season for Corinthians are 7-4-4 (wins-draws-losses). Ever since the America Mineiro game Corinthians has been unbeatable here at Neo Química Arena producing five straight wins.

No payout for Corinthians in their previous match, an away game at Atletico Mineiro that ended in defeat 0-3. Fagner was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.45 out of 10. The defender Fagner hit three key passes and won 4 of 5 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fortaleza in a game that was won 1-0.

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

Corinthians are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. On the other hand, Corinthians have conceded 15 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Cuiabá form and stats

3 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Cuiabá playing as the away team in the Serie A this season. Cuiabá seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The attacking players of Cuiabá have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Cuiabá lost away at Ceara (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Walter was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.32. The agile goalkeeper Walter saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with three saves.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Chapecoense.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Internacional in just four days.

The attacking power of Cuiabá when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 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 (12 so far).

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other already this season, with the final score Cuiabá - Corinthians 1-2 entered in the official records.
