On Sunday night, Corinthians will look to make up ground on Serie A leaders Palmeiras as they host Goias at the Neo Quimica Arena in the Brazilian top-flight.
Timao are currently in second place in the Serie A table, three points behind league leaders Palmeiras. Vitor Pereira’s team have been slightly inconsistent of late in the Brazilian top-flight, although they have lost just one of their last nine outings in Serie A.

Last time out, Corinthians drew 1-1 with Athletico Paranaense. The game followed a low-scoring trend for the home side of late in Serie A, as their last six league matches have all produced under 2.5 goals.
Corinthians have been a formidable opponent to beat on home soil of late in Serie A, as they are unbeaten in 17 home matches in the Brazilian top-flight. Their recent home matches in Serie A have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight games.
The visitors have made an underwhelming start to their Serie A campaign and currently sit just a point above the relegation zone. A recent run of one win in their last six league matches has not helped their chances of moving up the Serie A table.
On the flip-side, a 2-1 home defeat against Internacional last time out ended a four-game unbeaten in the Brazilian top-flight, although three of those undefeated games had ended in draws.
Although Goias’ recent matches have not always been high-scoring, both teams have scored in their last five games in Serie A.
The visitor's recent away record is a mixed one, although two wins from their previous nine away games doesn’t suggest that they are about to beat one of the top teams in the league.
Forebet predicts that Corinthians will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to help maintain pressure on Palmeiras at the top of the Brazilian top flight.
