Corinthians have journeyed here for an absorbing battle against the home side Internacional. Get smart on the fixture with this thorough Serie A preview!
- Internacional have not yet lost a game at home.
- Corinthians is in the best form (4-0-1) in Serie A
Corinthians have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Corinthians could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa do Brasil game only three sleeps ago.
Internacional form and stats
Only two Serie A home games for Internacional so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Internacional travelled for their previous game, a trip to Juventude that ended 1-1. Vitão, defender, was given a rating of 7.75/10 in that game, top of the team. Vitão scored one goal and won 3 of 4 duels.
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 Internacional have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 0 and lost 3.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Independiente Medellin are coming to town in three days.
Internacional has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Corinthians form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Serie A away games so far for Corinthians with six points collected from three matches.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Corinthians goalkeeper Cassio Ramos is eager to challenge this, with his 199 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
The supporters enjoyed Corinthians's previous match versus Portuguesa RJ, a Copa do Brasil win (2-0) played at home.
Preceding that game was the away Serie A victory against Bragantino with the score of 1-0.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 13 relevant matches. Results were 3 Corinthians wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Copa Libertadores trip to Boca Juniors.
Corinthians have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Corinthians have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
