Flamengo have performed better than Corinthians so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Flamengo and Corinthians.
Flamengo form and stats
Home games in the Serie A have been a walk in the park for Flamengo so far, with 40 points won from 14 matches; 13 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Flamengo has a nice streak going on as they have played 16 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Bahia defeat 91 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Flamengo tasted defeat here at Estadio do Maracana, as they have taken at least one point from their last 19 home games.
The home team returns to Estadio do Maracana after sharing the points with Goiás (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 2-2. Before that, Flamengo had a home game versus CSA which ended with a victory 1-0.
A case of two points dropped for Flamengo in the Goiás match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
The manager Jorge Jesus will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Botafogo in only four days.
Flamengo are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (35 goals in 14 games). From these home matches, Flamengo have conceded only 10 goals.
Corinthians form and stats
The visitors are W3-D6-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Corinthians, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus CSA (placed 17th). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Santos.
A new game in only three days for Corinthians, the Serie A home match versus Fortaleza. Busy days.
The visitors have scored 13 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (13 so far).
