Corinthians boast better record than Athletico-PR on artificial turf | OneFootball

Corinthians defeated Athletico-PR in the Copa do Brasil and improved their record at the opponent's stadium, which is one of the synthetic fields among the Brazilian elite. Contrary to other teams, Timão has a better performance than the Paraná team since the turf was implemented in the stadium.

The synthetic grass was installed at Arena da Baixada in 2016, being one of the pioneers of this type in professional stadiums. Since then, however, Timão has had the upper hand in direct confrontations against Furacão, with five wins against only three losses, plus two draws.

Another stadium with artificial turf where Corinthians has a good record is Allianz Parque, having the same number of victories as rival Palmeiras. However, in the other two they have played, Arena MRV and Nilton Santos, the performance is low, with 33.3% in the Minas Gerais stadium and 11.1% in Rio de Janeiro – considering only games on synthetic turf.

It is worth remembering that, earlier this year, several players published a statement calling for the end of synthetic turf in Brazilian football. This week, after Corinthians played in Curitiba, Memphis Depay posted a complaint about the grass, which was agreed upon by Neymar Jr., a Santos player.

Now, Corinthians returns to the natural grass of Neo Química Arena. The match takes place against Palmeiras, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Série A. The ball rolls from 6:30 PM (Brasília time).
