On Sat Nov 5th, in week 36, Corinthians will host Ceará at Arena Corinthians in a Serie A match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 5th placed Corinthians, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Goiás. Neither Goiás nor Corinthians could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 10 and 16 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Corinthians is looking for direction having 4 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 17th placed Ceará, recorded a 0-1 loss against Fluminense. Germán Cano scored the first goal for Fluminense in the 72nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Ceará was frustrated by Fluminense’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Fluminense ended the match with the shutout victory. Ceará looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
Corinthians and Ceará last played eachother at the Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo on Sun Jul 17th. Ceará won by a score of 3 to 1. Róger Guedes struck first for Corinthians in the 4th minute, then Bruno de Jesus Pacheco tied it up for Ceará in the 28th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 33rd minute on a goal by Vinicius Goes Barbosa de Souza.
Ceará is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Jô and Vinicius Lima each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Giuliano and Róger Guedes are the top scorers for Corinthians in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
