Corinthians is set to host Goias at Neo Química Arena in their 13 round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A this weekend. Match day schedules for June 19, 2022 at 22:00 EAT.
Failure to turn draws into all three points has saw the Sunday’s hosts lose top spot to a ruthless Palmeiras side of late, with a three-point gap opening. The team has been unbeaten at home all through the campaign however it needs to be mentioned that they have let in a total of just two goals at this venue in the entire season.
Corinthians gets into this meeting coming off 1-1 Serie A draw with Atletico PR in their last game. In that match, Corinthians had 56% possession, 11 shots with six of them on target and a goal score by Róger Guedes (5′). Atletico PR got 21 shots with two of them on target and a goal by David Terans (82′).
Meanwhile, newly-promoted Goias occupy the 16th place with 14 points to their name but they will certainly fancy a chance of grinding out a point against the giants. Ventura’s men had found themselves on a decent five-game unbeaten run across all competitions prior to the loss to Internacional, and had lost just once in eight Brasileiro encounters, but they could do little to prevent defeat against the better side at the Estadio da Serrinha.
Goais suffered 1-2 Serie A defeat at the hands of Internacional in their last fiture. In that match, Goias managed 53% possession, six shots with two of them on target and a goal scored by Da Silva (41′). Internacional got 16 shots with eight of them on target and goals by Edenílson (8′) and Alan Patrick (47′).
