The survey compares Timão’s performance at this stage with three other starts to the second half that rank among the team’s worst records since the beginning of the round-robin era. See below:

With the five points won in the first nine matches, the 2026 campaign is below the marks from 2007, 2013, and 2016, which all totaled seven points over the same stretch. The data was released by Estatísticas Corinthianas, which described the current campaign as the worst start to a second half in Corinthians’ history in the round-robin era.

3rd worst campaign

Corinthians’ 2026 campaign also ranks among the worst in the club’s history in the Brazilian Championship’s round-robin era. According to another survey by Estatísticas Corinthianas, Timão is having its third worst Brasileirão campaign in the round-robin era, with 32 points, eight wins, eight draws, and 12 losses, along with a 38.1% success rate. Only the 2024 campaign, with 28 points and a 33.3% success rate, and 2006, with 32 points and 38.1%, rank ahead in the survey.

Corinthians is now fully focused on the national competition. After the FIFA international break, which will provide a little more than two weeks for training, Timão will visit Internacional on October 7, a Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be played at Beira-Rio Stadium. There are only nine matches left until the end of the tournament: Internacional (A), Palmeiras (A), Vitória (H), Vasco da Gama (A), Mirassol (H), São Paulo (A), Botafogo (H), Grêmio (H), and Remo (A).
