Corinthians aim to avoid worst Brasileirão run in almost 30 years at Flamengo | OneFootball

According to Meu Timao, Corinthians visit Flamengo on Sunday seeking to halt a losing run in the Brasileirão and avoid their worst league sequence in almost 30 years.

They have lost to Cruzeiro, Coritiba, Santos and Chapecoense, all 2-1 except the derby with Santos which finished 1-0. Only the Coritiba defeat was away, the rest came at Neo Química Arena.

This is their poorest streak since 1997, when they suffered five straight defeats late in the championship. That sequence began against Paraná Clube, then Santos, Cruzeiro, Fluminense and Sport, all by 1-0.

It ended against Flamengo, this weekend’s opponents, with a 1-0 win at Morumbi thanks to Edílson Capetinha. Those five losses left Corinthians needing a final-day victory to avoid relegation, which they secured by beating Goiás 2-0.

In 2026, Corinthians have eight wins, eight draws and 10 defeats, sitting 11th after 26 rounds. On Sunday at 17:30, they visit the Maracanã to face the league leaders and try to reignite their push for a 2027 Copa Libertadores place.
