At home, Corinthians bank on Libertadores record v Santa Fe | OneFootball

Corinthians return to action at Neo Química Arena in the Copa Libertadores this Wednesday (15), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Independiente Santa Fé, for the second round of the group stage. The match marks the club’s return to its stadium in the competition after more than a year.

Timão’s last home match in the tournament took place in March 2025, when the team beat Barcelona de Guayaquil 2-0. Despite the positive result, the score was not enough to overturn the deficit built in the first leg, which led to elimination in the preliminary stage.

Even with this recent scenario, Corinthians’ overall record at Neo Química Arena in the Libertadores is positive. In 24 matches played at the stadium, the club has 14 wins, four draws, and six losses, with more than 60% of the points won.

During that span, the black-and-white attack scored 41 goals, while the defense conceded on 16 occasions. The team’s attacking average at home in the competition is more than one and a half goals per game.

One of Corinthians’ most consistent stretches playing in Itaquera came between 2018 and 2022, when the team went unbeaten for six consecutive matches, with four wins and two draws against South American opponents.

On the other hand, the club also went through a recent negative run at home. Between 2022 and 2023, Timão went five home games without a win in the competition, with three losses and two draws.

Now, against Santa Fé, Corinthians are looking to maintain their strong historical record at Neo Química Arena to stay on top of Group E. If they secure another positive result, the team can open up a gap in the standings and cement their place among the top teams in the group.
