After spending time in the lower part of the Brazilian Championship table, Corinthians changed its current situation in the competition largely thanks to the arrival of head coach Fernando Diniz, hired in the first week of April to replace Dorival Júnior. Following the change in charge, Timão recorded six wins, four draws, and only two losses in the tournament, and in the last six rounds, it picked up four wins (Atlético-MG – H, Grêmio – A, Remo – H, and Red Bull Bragantino – A) and two draws (Bahia – A and Athletico-PR – H).

Before the matches against Santos and Chapecoense in the Brasileirão, Corinthians will have two more fixtures in the national competition. This Sunday (16), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), it will host Cruzeiro at Neo Química Arena in the 23rd round. On the 23rd, exactly one week later and at the same time, Alvinegro will travel to Couto Pereira to face Coritiba in a 24th-round match.

In addition to the national tournament, Corinthians is also involved in the Conmebol Libertadores Round of 16. Last Thursday (13), the club from Parque São Jorge took the field at Estádio Gigante de Arroyito to visit Rosario Central-ARG in the first leg of the international competition’s knockout stage, and the match ended in a goalless draw. The teams will meet again next Thursday (20), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena. If they are level again, the tie will be decided on penalties.
