Corinthians struggle in attack, rack up poor Brasileirão stats | OneFootball

Corinthians are going through a delicate moment in the 2026 Brazilian Championship, especially in attack. After a 0-0 draw away to Vitória in the 12th round, the team dropped into the relegation zone and sees its difficulty in scoring goals as one of the main reasons for its position in the standings.

Currently in 17th place with 12 points, the black-and-white team has not won in nine matches in the competition. Their last positive result came back in February, when they beat Athletico Paranaense 1-0.

The numbers help explain the situation. A survey by the Estatísticas Corinthianas profile shows that Corinthians have one of the worst attacking records in the tournament. The team has the lowest average number of shots per game, with around 10.1 attempts, and also the worst rate of shots on target, with approximately 2.8 per match. Another striking figure is the low number of big chances created: only 12 so far.

With just eight goals scored in the first 12 rounds, Corinthians have the least productive attack in the championship. This performance places the current campaign among the worst in the club’s history over this opening stretch of the Brasileirão. For comparison, in the first 12 rounds, the team scored six goals in 1988 and seven in 1987, numbers close to the current scenario.

In addition to their attacking difficulties, their home form is also a concern. In six matches played at home, Corinthians have won only once, achieving around a 28% success rate — a figure that places them among the worst home records in the competition.

The challenge now is to turn things around quickly and leave the relegation zone. Their next Brasileirão match will be against Vasco on Sunday (26) at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). Before that, Corinthians return to the pitch in the Copa do Brasil, when they face Barra-SC on Tuesday (21) at 9:30 p.m. in the first leg of the knockout round.
