Corinthians can climb up to five places in the Brasileirão with derby win | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field this Sunday (12) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) against Palmeiras at Neo Química Arena, in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship, with a direct impact on the standings.

Currently in 16th place with 10 points, the club from Parque São Jorge needs a win to get back to earning points in the competition and move away from the bottom of the table. In the event of a Dérbi victory, Corinthians will reach 13 points and could climb as many as five spots, depending on the tiebreaker criteria.

With that total, Timão would draw level with teams such as Santos, Internacional, Vasco, and Grêmio, who have already played in the round. The final order of the standings, however, would depend on goal difference, a criterion in which Corinthians still trail those opponents.

At the bottom of the table, the scenario also does not change in the event of a draw or defeat. Corinthians would remain in 16th place at the end of the round, with no risk of being overtaken, since Remo, the first team inside the relegation zone, have eight points and have already played.

On the other side, Palmeiras come into the derby at the top of the Brazilian Championship with 25 points and will remain in first place regardless of the result at Neo Química Arena.
