Vitória v Corinthians: where to watch, absentees, line-ups, referee | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Vitória on Saturday night (18), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at Barradão Stadium, in a match valid for the 12th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. At the moment, Alvinegro sit 16th in the national competition with 11 points earned — two wins, five draws, and four losses — with eight goals scored and 11 conceded.

Despite not having conceded a goal or lost in the last three matches since Fernando Diniz arrived, with two wins and one draw, Corinthians are looking to end a long winless run in the Brazilian Championship, as they have not won in the tournament for eight matches and are trying to avoid matching their worst negative streak in the competition since mid-2024. Their last win in the national competition came on February 12, against RB Bragantino, by 2-0, in Itaquera, in the third round of the tournament. Since then, there have been five draws and three losses — four goals scored and nine conceded.
