Corinthians aim to end home drought against Chapecoense and avoid worst home run this season | OneFootball

Corinthians host Chapecoense at 19:30 on Sunday in round 26 of the Brasileirão at Neo Química Arena, seeking to end a home drought and avoid equalling their worst home run of the season.

Meu Timao notes the match is a chance for Fernando Diniz's side to reset at home. Their last league win in Itaquera was on 23 July 2026, a 3-0 over Remo, with Kaio César and Yuri Alberto, twice, scoring.

Since then, Corinthians drew 0-0 with Athletico-PR on 30 July, lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro on 16 August, then were beaten 1-0 by Santos last Sunday in the Clássico Alvinegro.

Their 2026 nadir at home was a four-match stretch in March and April, losing 2-0 to Coritiba (11 March) and 1-0 to Internacional (5 April), and drawing 1-1 with Flamengo (22 March) and 0-0 with Palmeiras (11 April).

This season at Neo Química Arena, Corinthians have played 12 league matches, winning five, drawing three and losing four, a 50% points return. They have scored 12 and conceded nine.

One home game was moved to Vila Belmiro, the opening home date, a 2-1 loss to Red Bull Bragantino. The switch to the Baixada Santista brought the match forward before the Supercopa do Brasil, which Corinthians won 2-0 against Flamengo.

Diniz's team are on a run of three league defeats, against Cruzeiro, Coritiba and Santos, which has dropped them from seventh to 11th on 32 points. Victory could lift them to 10th.
