Corinthians hosts Ceara in round 18 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 7th at Arena Corinthians (Sao Paulo)
A 4-1-4-1 defensive style brings a positive result. Under the management of Fabio Carille, Corinthians gained points in 15 of 17 matches in Brazilian Serie A. The game in the defensive third was established very well, and taking into account all the competitions, Corinthians did not concede in 8 out of 10 last home matches. Now this team is located in 3rd place. The leader, who is Flamengo, plays with Avai, and it will surely earn 3 points. Now Corinthians lags behind the first place by 5 points, and if Corinthians loses points, the gap from the first position will likely increase.

Ceara plays in defense badly. Holding back of counterattacks and defense during set pieces are its weaknesses. Thus, Ceara lost three last matches. In home games, this club plays well in attack and easily creates goal attempts. But away, this club creates goals with great difficulty - 0.5 per match. As a result, Ceara got only one point in five last matches. Now Ceara takes 14th place. If we look at its current physical shape and game level, the team is likely to lose.
The advantage is on the side of Corinthians, which did not suffer a single defeat at home. This club scores a little, but it is very reliable in defense. Please note that taking into account all the competitions, each of the 10 last home matches involving Corinthians didn’t record more than two goals. Ceara is bad away, but it concedes only 1.1 goals per game. Each of the 5 last away matches involving Ceara was non-scoring. It is an inconvenient rival for Corinthians. Coringao played against Ceara just five times at home and gained only one victory. As for the upcoming game, Corinthians is unlikely to lose, and the match will not exceed 2 goals.
Prediction for the match: Corinthians to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 2.5 goals scored
