Corinthians had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Santos.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Santos, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

There will be mixed feelings from Timão, although undefeated in their last 9 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.

With a 1-1 draw in their last match against Sao Paulo, Athletico Paranaense had to settle for a share of the points.  They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Sao Paulo, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

Athletico-PR will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.  

On an individual basis, Pablo Teixeira will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Athletico Paranaense's last 6 league games.
