Despite Corinthians’ advantage in the overall record, the last meeting between the teams ended in a Coritiba win. On March 11, 2026, in the first half of the Brasileirão season, the team from Paraná won 2-0 at Neo Química Arena. The result carried even more weight for Coritiba, as it ended a long winless streak against Corinthians. The club from Paraná had not beaten Timão for 15 years.
When the survey considers only matches in the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians also post better numbers. The teams have already faced each other 50 times in the country’s main competition. Timão have 27 wins, while Coritiba have won 12 matches. Another 11 games ended in draws.
The team from São Paulo began this round of the Brazilian Championship in ninth place in the standings, with 32 points, four fewer than Cruzeiro, the first team in the G5. Coritiba sit immediately behind Corinthians in 10th place, with 31 points.
Corinthians’ next match after facing Coritiba will be against Santos, in the Brazilian Championship.
The black-and-white derby is scheduled for next Sunday (30) at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) and will be played at Neo Química Arena. The match will be valid for the 25th round of the competition.
