Corinthians face run of derbies and six-pointers to escape Z-4 | OneFootball

Corinthians face a perilous 10-game run of derbies and relegation six-pointers as they try to arrest a six-match losing streak in the Brasileirão.

They are 14th, three points clear of the relegation places. Gato Mestre puts their survival chance at 85.49%, while Remo’s stands at 5.58%.

Two clássico dates are away from home, Palmeiras in round 30, a title contender, and São Paulo in round 34, currently just above them.

The rest of the schedule is packed with direct rivals in the bottom half, Internacional 18th, Vitória 13th, Vasco 16th, Mirassol 15th, Botafogo 12th, Grêmio 17th and Remo 19th.

These fixtures might look softer, yet those sides are equally locked on survival. Remo are on 23 points and are very likely to reach the final day, when they face Corinthians, already down.

With Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores gone, the league is their only route back to continental football in 2027. The Sudamericana looks the most attainable, with São Paulo, the first side in that qualifying zone, four points ahead.
