The visiting Flamengo side should be favourites in this visit to Corinthians, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their 16 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Corinthians nor Flamengo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Corinthians form and stats
The story so far in the Serie A for Corinthians at their home stadium (Arena Corinthians) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. Corinthians have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Happy days for Corinthians in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Atletico PR (placed 18th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ceara (1-2).
Walter loved the game against Atletico PR. With a stunning nine saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 1-0 victory. Corinthians made it very difficult for themselves, when Bruno Méndez got a red card in the 78th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Corinthians won the match 1-0! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Rocha Coelho when Everaldo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Everaldo scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Corinthians as they are travelling to their away game against Vasco da Gama in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
Corinthians has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. On the other hand, Corinthians have conceded 9 goals.
Flamengo form and stats
Flamengo's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Flamengo, who have the most points (16) away in Serie A, collect 16 points from their 8 away matches in the Serie A. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Flamengo's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Bragantino that finished 1-1. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Goias.
A new game in only three days for Flamengo, the Copa Libertadores home match versus Junior. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy Flamengo's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 8 league matches away. As opposed to that, Flamengo have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
