Struggling Fluminense will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Corinthians in the upcoming league round. It's 17th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Fluminense form and stats

Fluminense's struggle is real here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho with only 8 points collected from 9 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-5.

The fans are hoping that Fluminense will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Serie A game against Palmeiras (placed 3rd). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Fortaleza.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Fluminense have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 3 Lost 3.

Fluminense have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Fluminense have conceded 9 goals.

Corinthians form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Corinthians, who have the fewest conceded goals (11) in Serie A, have produced an overall stat of 2-4-2 so far. In general it has been a productive period now for Corinthians as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games. It's three draws from Corinthians's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

There were no winners in Corinthians's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 2-2 vs Ceará (placed 12th). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Atlético Mineiro.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Corinthians playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 2 Corinthians wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Corinthians are hosting Independiente del Valle in the Copa Sudamericana only three days away.

Corinthians have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Corinthians are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
