The visiting Santos side should be favourites in this visit to Corinthians, as the away team holds a 6 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Corinthians nor Santos 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
Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Corinthians are 2-3-1 (wins-draw-losses).
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 299 minutes without scoring a league goal. Gil was the last player to find the net. The Corinthians goalkeeper Cassio Ramos is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 233 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie A.
Corinthians shared the glory with Bragantino in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. In the match before that, Corinthians hosted Atlético GO and drew the game 0-0.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Santos form and stats
Playing away, Santos have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Serie A this season.
Santos play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Goiás (placed 20th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Olimpia at their stadium, the result 3-2.
Santos made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Arthur Gomes receiving a red card in the 34th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Santos won the match 3-2! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager A. Stival when Marcos Leonardo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Santos in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Santos, four draws and three defeats.
