On May 9, Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo) will host the match of the 4th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Corinthians will compete with Fortaleza. The battle will start at 01:00 CET.

Corinthians

The club is considered to be one of the most popular in its country. Moreover, the main successes of “the Timão” are connected to the closest past. In 2012, the Brazilians took the Copa Libertadores, and after that – the Sudamericana and the FIFA Club World Cup. Also, Brasileiro was won in 2015 and 2017. Then, however, there happened a decline, and the 4th place of the previous season was the best one in recent years. Taking into account the higher mentioned results, the new draw, already under the rule of Luxemburgo, does not start in the best way. The Brazilians lost both fights in the Copa Libertadores. Moreover, speaking about the top league of the country, the team started with the victory in the match with Cruzeiro at the home arena, but then lost both away matches, not only against Palmeiras, but also against Goias. Everyone obviously expected something more, albeit in combination with the cup success, when the management invited an experienced mentor.

Fortaleza

The team cannot boast about successes, at least outside the home state of Ceara. The club played at the level of the third, semi-amateur division of the country from 2010 to 2017. Then, having passed the Serie B in just 1 year of 2018, “the Tricolor” made its way back to the elite division. Moreover, it was even able to rise so high that it made the debut in the Copa Libertadores in the previous year. However, the team managed to finish in the Brasileiro 2022 in a fairly high, 8th place. This time, the Brazilians were not able to overcome Cerro Porteño in the decisive round of the qualification in the new cycle of the main continental tournament, but they were more than decent in the Copa Sudamericana. At the same time, Vojvoda’s wards, starting with a draw in the match against Internacional in the new championship of the country, won the battles with both Curitiba and Fluminense.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The teams strictly exchange home victories for the past four times, in 2021 and in 2022.
