Corinthians look to avoid their worst losing run at Neo Química Arena | OneFootball

Corinthians have an important match this Sunday at 4 p.m. against Fluminense in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition to trying to earn points in the competition, the team led by Fernando Diniz takes the field with the mission of ending a negative streak that could result in an unprecedented mark at Neo Química Arena.

Another stumble in Itaquera would see Timão reach four consecutive home defeats at the stadium. If that happens, the club would record its longest streak of consecutive negative results at home since the inauguration of Neo Química Arena.

The current streak began at the end of August. On the 30th, Corinthians lost 1-0 to Santos in a Brazilian Championship match. In the next home round, the scenario was once again unfavorable, with a 2-1 defeat to Chapecoense.

The third negative result came in the following match in Itaquera. Against Estudiantes of Argentina, Corinthians were beaten 1-0 in the second leg of the tie and were eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.

A run of three consecutive home defeats has not been recorded by Corinthians since 2021. On that occasion, the streak began on May 30, when Timão lost 1-0 to Atlético Goianiense in the Brasileirão.

A few days later, on June 2, again against Atlético Goianiense, Corinthians suffered another setback, this time 2-0, in the Copa do Brasil. Then, on June 16, the team lost again in the Brazilian Championship, being beaten 2-1 by Red Bull Bragantino.

Corinthians’ current situation is even more delicate because of their recent performances in the Brasileirão. The team has accumulated five straight defeats in the competition, three of them at Neo Química Arena itself.

Having gone nearly a month without a win, Timão are trying to rediscover the path to victory precisely against Fluminense. The team sits in 14th place in the Brazilian Championship with 32 points and is currently outside the positions that guarantee qualification for continental competitions. ::
