It hasn’t been a very productive season so far for Corinthians and it won’t get easier in their next game as they get to host unbeaten Bragantino in the fourth round of matches in the Brazilian Serie A. Corinthians go to this game placed 10th with four points while Bragantino are placed sixth with five points. Low scores have characterized Corinthians’ matches so far and going to this game, they’re coming from a 1-1 draw with Palmeiras. Gabriel’s equalizer in that clash marked the second time they’ve scored in the five matches across all competitions that they’ve played so far this season. In the five matches, Corinthians haven’t managed more than a goal; actually, they’ve failed to score in three games, and each of these five matches has produced under 2.5 goals. Two straight losses at home doesn’t leave them very good prospects going to this game either, while they failed to beat Bragantino in their two meetings last season.

Bragantino are coming from a 2-2 draw with Fluminense, a game they’ll feel disappointed to have drawn, after leading 2-0 at half time. A second half revival saw Fluminense leave more satisfied in the two sides’ third meeting already this season, after scoring a last minute penalty and Bragantino will want to address that going forward. Whereas they have been great in attack, Bragantino have really been worrying in their defensive output. They’ve scored two goals or more in four of their last five matches across all competitions and are the joint leading scorers in the league with eight goals. However, in their opening five games of the season, Bragantino have conceded in four, and in three of them twice or more. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. They dropped four points after conceding late in their last two league matches – against Bahia and Fluminense. In their only away match in the league so far, they beat Chapecoense 3-0.
