Corinthians hit by another poor run in this Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians faced Santos on the afternoon of last Sunday (30) at Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 25th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, and were beaten 1-0. The setback in Itaquera kept the Corinthians side in 10th place with 32 points — eight wins, eight draws, and nine defeats — with 26 goals scored and 25 conceded.

With the result, the club from Parque São Jorge once again put together a negative run at home in the national competition. The current stretch of slip-ups began on July 30, with a goalless draw against Athletico-PR. Then, on August 16, came a 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro. This weekend, Timão reached its third straight home game without a win in the tournament after being beaten by Santos by the narrowest of margins.

In this edition of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians had already gone through another run of negative results at home. Between mid-March and mid-April, they went four matches without a win as the home side in the competition. During that period, Timão recorded two draws (against Flamengo and Palmeiras) and two defeats (to Coritiba and Internacional) — two goals scored and four conceded.

It was right in the middle of that stretch that Dorival Jr was dismissed and Fernando Diniz took over as Corinthians head coach. That difficult spell ended with a 1-0 win over Vasco da Gama on April 26, thanks to a goal from left-back Matheus Bidu, in the 14th round of the competition.

Another negative streak in the Brasileirão

In addition, the club from Parque São Jorge has also lost its last three rounds in the tournament — Cruzeiro (H – 1 x 2), Coritiba (A – 2 x 1), and Santos (H – 0 x 1). It is not the first time this has happened in the competition. Between mid-March and late April, Alvinegro went eight rounds without a win, recording five draws (Santos, Flamengo, Chapecoense, Palmeiras, and Vitória) and three defeats (Coritiba, Fluminense, and Internacional). The winless run was ended precisely against Vasco da Gama on April 26.

Next fixture

After being beaten by Santos in Itaquera in the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians remain focused on the competition and will have another full week of training until their next match. Next Sunday (6), at 7 p.m. Brasília time, Timão will host Chapecoense at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 26th round of the national tournament.
