Corinthians now fifth in Série B relegation risk after Fluminense defeat | OneFootball

Corinthians are now the fifth-highest at risk of relegation in the Brasileirão, their survival fight worsening after the weekend’s action.

UOL Esporte reports that after the 28th round, Corinthians’ relegation probability stands at 21.4 per cent, up from 14.6. Only Chapecoense at 99.22 per cent, Remo at 94.6, Internacional at 69.1 and Grêmio at 57.6 face higher risk. The bottom four after 38 rounds will play in the 2027 second tier.

Fernando Diniz’s side lost 3-1 to Fluminense at Neo Química Arena on Sunday, capping a slide of six straight league defeats. The run also included losses to Cruzeiro 2-1, Coritiba 2-1, Santos 1-0, Chapecoense 2-1 and Flamengo 2-1. Before this slump, Corinthians were in the upper reaches and aiming to close on the G6.

They sit 14th with 32 points, three clear of Grêmio on 29, the first team inside the relegation zone.

Corinthians do not play again for 16 days due to the FIFA break. Their next match is on 7 October against Internacional at Beira-Rio, a direct fight in the relegation battle.
