In-depth Analysis
Currently in the Brazilian Serie A standings, Corinthians sits in 13th place with 42 points, a disappointing position for a club with championship ambitions. They trail Fluminense, who hold 7th place, by 9 points.
In the upcoming round, Corinthians will host Sao Paulo, who are 9th with 45 points. The recent form of both teams is similar, with each losing 2 of their last 5 matches. However, Corinthians have the home advantage, winning 3 of their last 4 games at home.
Sao Paulo is not overly concerned about playing away, winning 2 and losing 2 of their last 4 matches. Their biggest strength is their head-to-head record, having won 6 and drawn 1 of the last 7 encounters with Corinthians. Still, the home team is likely to take all three points.
