Corinthians have managed just one win against teams in the relegation zone | OneFootball

The Corinthians shows difficulties when facing opponents from the relegation zone in the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the teams occupying the Z4 are Vitória, Juventude, Fortaleza, and Sport, with the latter responsible for Timão's 1-0 defeat last Sunday.

In total, the Alvinegro played five matches against these four teams, with only one victory — precisely against Sport, in the fourth round of the first half.

In the other four matches, the team recorded two draws (Vitória and Fortaleza) and two losses (Juventude and Sport), totaling only five points out of a possible 15, which represents a 33% success rate.

Three of these five encounters took place at the Neo Química Arena (Sport, Vitória, and Fortaleza), highlighting that the team failed to turn the home advantage into a consistent benefit.

The poor performance against rivals in the relegation zone could become a problem in the second half. This is because Corinthians will still face Vitória and Fortaleza away, in a final stretch of the Brasileirão that promises to be tight and decisive in the fight for positions on the table.

With the setback against Leão da Ilha, Timão remained with 29 points, in 10th place. Additionally, they lost their unbeaten streak, which had reached five games (four wins and one draw). In search of regaining their good form, the São Paulo club returns to the field next Sunday, when they host Flamengo, for the 25th round.
