The Fluminense & Corinthians managers Silva and Pereira are both anxious about and feeling excited about this highly important game in the top regions of the Serie A positions.
- Fluminense have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Corinthians have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (4) in Serie A
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Libertadores.
Fluminense form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Fluminense have to build on here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho in the Serie A.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Fabio Deivson Lopes Maciel not having conceded a league goal in 315 minutes.
It's back home for Fluminense, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Botafogo away with the result 1-0. Manoel found the net in that victory. Defender Manoel got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.94/10. Manoel scored one goal and won 2 of 4 duels.
Fluminense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. 9 goals have been conceded.
Corinthians form and stats
3-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Corinthians in their Serie A matches away.
The Corinthians goalkeeper Cassio Ramos is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 190 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Corinthians delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Boca Juniors in their previous match; a Copa Libertadores fixture. Cássio (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.22. Cássio topped it up with a clean sheet.
A draw for Corinthians before that, at their own venue hosting Santos (0-0).Low-scoring game? 10 of this club's latest 11 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.
The schedule is very tough for Corinthians now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Libertadores game at Boca Juniors is waiting in only three days.
Corinthians have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Corinthians have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
