Corinthians fight São Paulo for praise and triumph.
- Corinthians have not yet lost a game at home.
- São Paulo have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Serie A
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Corinthians form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Corinthians's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Neo Química Arena.
In their previous game, the manager da Silva led his Corinthians to a defeat away at Botafogo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Neo Química Arena. Adson (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.13/10. Adson dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
In the match before that, Corinthians hosted Fortaleza and drew the game 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Corinthians perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Corinthians as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Corinthians has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Corinthians as they are travelling to their away game against Atletico Mineiro in the Copa do Brasil. That match is three days after this one.
At Neo Química Arena, Corinthians has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
São Paulo form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Serie A for São Paulo with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
258 minutes! That's how long the São Paulo goalkeeper Rafael Pires Monteiro and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Fortaleza (placed 4th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Rafael (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.0. Rafael topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that, São Paulo secured a home win against Internacional with the score 2-0.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 6 similar matches played by São Paulo in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Paulo, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
The schedule is very tough for São Paulo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Sport Recife is waiting in only three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting São Paulo as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league.
Head 2 Head
Data for the former ten meetings featuring these two sides are: two wins for Corinthians, four draws and four wins for São Paulo. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
