It's game one of two in the Copa Sudamericana as Corinthians host Universitario. This is a Round of 32 fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It's quite the trip for Universitario when visiting Corinthians as the cities are 4300 kilometers apart.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Corinthians form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Corinthians have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games.
Corinthians enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Atletico Mineiro's place. The match ended 1-0 with Guedes scoring. Corinthians goalkeeper Cássio did an outstanding job against Atletico Mineiro with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. Cássio, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.65 out of 10 in that game. Cássio topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against América Mineiro in the Copa do Brasil.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa do Brasil game versus América Mineiro in only four days. This game is also played here at Neo Química Arena.
The Corinthians fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Corinthians are not conceding a lot of goals here at Neo Química Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 6 matches.
Universitario form and stats
Four points from two away games for Universitario, meaning one draw and one victory in the Primera Division so far.
It's the second away game in a row for Universitario, but there's smiles all around after the 4-1 victory versus Academia Cantolao last time out. Urruti, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.8. Urruti signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Alianza Atlético in the Primera Division.A new game in only three days for Universitario, the Primera Division home match versus Union Comercio. Busy days.
Universitario have the goal stats of 5-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
