Corinthians will be hoping they can transfer their recent form in the Brazilian domestic cup competition (Copa Betano do Brasil) into this upcoming Serie A encounter against Fortaleza when the two sides meet at the Neo Química Arena on Sunday afternoon.

Corinthians registered a 1-0 home win against Palmeiras the last time the hosts were in action in the cup but Dorival Júnior’s side had previously struggled for results in Serie A beforehand.

Indeed, Corinthians had managed to capture just one win from their last nine matches in all competitions which came in the shape of a 1-0 win on the road at Ceara but this period also included three defeats along with four draws as well.

However, a fairly promising looking home record of 4-2-2 11/7 suggests the hosts stand a decent chance of turning their league form around here on Sunday.

Fortaleza currently find themselves situated in the bottom four places of the Serie A table and therefore in amongst the relegation zone ahead of this tough looking trip to the Neo Química Arena where they’ll face opponents, Corinthians.

The visitors have also experienced a pretty turbulent time in all competitions of late as Renato Paiva’s side have managed to register just one win within their last 12 matches overall, that being a recent 3-1 home win against Bragantino, but having also been dealt no fewer than nine losses within this period, Fortaleza look to be up against it this weekend.

In addition, Fortaleza have still yet to pick up a win on their travels so far this season as the visitors possess a poor away record which stands at 0-3-4 3/13 and includes the second lowest goal-tally away from home as well.

The Betting Verdict

Corinthians have won the last two meetings on the trot against Fortaleza 3-0 and 2-0 respectively, and the hosts should get over the line here as well.

Corinthians 1-0 Fortaleza
