Fortaleza won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Fluminense.
In that game, Fortaleza had 36% possession and 20 shots at goal with 5 on target. For their opponents, Fluminense got 13 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the Fortaleza defence. Fortaleza have been mean at the back, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last six clashes standing at 4.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Fortaleza:
- have not lost a league tie with Corinthians in their last 2 games.
- are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.
Last time out, Corinthians drew 0-0 in the Serie A match with Palmeiras.
In that match, Corinthians managed 44% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Palmeiras got 16 shots at goal with 4 of them on target.
The attacking players from Corinthians have been starved of goals over their last six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 3. In those matches, Timão have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 5. We will find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.
Leading up to this clash, Corinthians:
- have not registered a win against Fortaleza when having played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
- are unbeaten in their previous 4 away league matches.
- are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.
