Corinthians count on Neo Química Arena record to turn around tie with Internacional | OneFootball

Corinthians host Internacional on Thursday, aiming to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit in the Copa do Brasil last 16. The opening game was at Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre.

Meu Timao notes that Corinthians are leaning on their strong home record against Internacional at Neo Química Arena.

Since the stadium opened in 2014 there have been 13 meetings, with five home wins, six draws and two away victories, a 53.8% points return. Corinthians have scored 18 and conceded 14.

The clubs have met there once in the Copa do Brasil, in the 2017 second round. After two 1-1 draws, Corinthians went out on penalties.

Recent head-to-heads in Itaquera have been tight. Across the last five at the ground, Corinthians have one win, with two draws and two defeats. That win came last year, 4-2, when Yuri Alberto hit a hat-trick.

To progress inside 90 minutes, Corinthians must win by three goals or more. A two-goal victory would take the tie to a penalty shootout.
