Corinthians hit their 2nd-worst goals average ever; here's why | OneFootball

The year 2026 has been far from inspiring for Corinthians when it comes to finding the back of the net. With 30 goals scored in 29 matches played this season, Timão has been left with an average of 1.03 goals per game.

According to a survey by the Estatísticas Corinthianas profile on X, Timão is experiencing its second-worst goals-per-game average since the club was founded. The current numbers rank second, behind only 1990, when the club posted an average of 0.96 goals per match, scoring 66 goals in 69 games.

The campaign that ranks third on this list of Corinthians’ worst goals-per-game averages in history is the 2013 season. That year, Alvinegro recorded an average of 1.09 goals per game, with 82 goals in 75 matches.

Poor Brasileirão campaign

Once again sitting in the relegation zone of the 2026 Brazilian Championship after a 2-1 defeat to Mirassol, Corinthians currently has the worst attack in the competition. With only 10 goals scored, Timão even trails the team at the bottom of the table in this category, as Chapecoense has scored 13 goals in the tournament.

This Wednesday (05), Corinthians will have a chance to improve its scoring average when it faces Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia at 9:30 p.m. in a Copa Libertadores group stage match.
