Corinthians face Flamengo as Wilton Pereira Sampaio takes charge again | OneFootball

Corinthians face Flamengo at the Maracanã on Sunday in the 27th round of the Brasileirão, with Wilton Pereira Sampaio of Goiás appointed as referee. Kick-off is at 17:30.

According to Meu Timao, Sampaio has overseen 42 Corinthians matches, yielding 25 wins, 11 draws and 16 defeats. He has awarded four penalties against them and shown 125 yellows and three reds to their players.

His most recent Corinthians assignment came about 15 days ago in the Clássico Alvinegro in round 25, when they lost 1-0 to Santos at the Neo Química Arena.

Corinthians have not managed a positive result under him in 2026. This season he also took charge of a draw with Chapecoense in the league. Their last win with him came in the 2025 Copa do Brasil final, a 2-1 victory over Vasco that secured the title.

The assistants are Victor Hugo Imazu dos Santos of Paraná and Leone Carvalho Rocha of Goiás, with Jefferson Ferreira de Moraes, also from Goiás, as fourth official and Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior on VAR. Corinthians are 13th with 32 points, seeking to end four straight defeats not seen since 2007, the year of relegation. Flamengo are in the title race and would regain the Brasileirão lead with a win.
