Corinthians form and stats

Corinthians have collected 28 points from their Serie A home games so far after 8-4-4. After failing to beat America Mineiro here at Neo Química Arena, Corinthians has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Corinthians faced defeat in their previous match, away at Flamengo (0-1). Heartbreak for Corinthians in their last match as Flamengo's B. Henrique scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Fábio Santos, defender, was given a rating of 7.42/10 in that game, top of the team. Santos hit two key passes and won 9 of 13 duels.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Cuiaba.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Corinthians matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from three games).

Corinthians are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Ceara awaits in four days.

The Corinthians fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 16 matches. Corinthians have conceded 17 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Santos form and stats

Santos have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-7-7 (16 played).

288 minutes! That's how long the Santos goalkeeper Joao Paulo Silva Martins and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Santos won their last game, 2-0 versus Chapecoense played at home. João Paulo (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.44. Paulo stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-0 draw at Atletico GO's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Santos when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning two games.

After this away game Santos return home for a Serie A game against Fortaleza. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Santos as they have only managed to score 12 times from 16 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Santos have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
