Corinthians could revisit worst home run in five months if they fail to beat Chapecoense | OneFootball

Corinthians could revisit their worst home sequence in five months if they fail to beat Chapecoense on Sunday at the Neo Química Arena.

Meu Timao notes the pressure building ahead of Chapecoense's visit.

The current sequence is three at home without victory, a 0-0 draw with Athletico Paranaense in July, then defeats to Cruzeiro, 1-2, and Santos, 0-1, in August.

The season's longest barren spell came between March and April, four matches without a win. They lost 0-2 to Coritiba, drew 1-1 with Flamengo, lost 0-1 to Internacional, then drew 0-0 with Palmeiras.

The first three of those were under Dorival Júnior, while the derby against Palmeiras marked Fernando Diniz's debut at the ground. Beyond ending the drought, Corinthians are targeting points to avoid being dragged towards the relegation fight.

They sit 10th on 32 points, seven clear of Vasco and Internacional, the first two clubs inside the relegation zone. Corinthians have never lost to Chapecoense in Itaquera and have not conceded against them there since 2018.
