The Serie A league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Goiás and Corinthians are placed 18th and 16th respectively.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie A game only three days ago. That game, against São Paulo, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Corinthians.
Corinthians have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Goiás form and stats
Only two Serie A home games for Goiás so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
The Goiás crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Vasco da Gama (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties) here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro in a Copa do Brasil match. Ahead of that match, Goiás won a home game hosting Atlético GO (2-0).
At Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro, Goiás has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Corinthians form and stats
The Serie A season is young and Corinthians have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Corinthians are travelling again after losing away to São Paulo in their previous match (1-2). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Fortaleza.
Corinthians were so close to getting something from the game against São Paulo, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
After this away game Corinthians return home for a Serie A game against Botafogo. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Corinthians have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. Corinthians's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Goiás won two, Corinthians won five and three draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
