Corinthians' record v Argentine sides at the Arena, see the numbers | OneFootball

Corinthians’ record at home, the Neo Química Arena, against Argentine teams is marked by razor-thin balance. A frequent stage for major continental showdowns, the stadium in Itaquera has already hosted nine different opponents from the neighboring country, building a history full of tension and fierce rivalry.

After the 1-0 win over Rosario Central in the Conmebol Libertadores round of 16, Timão managed to tip the scales in its favor. The result ended a winless streak of more than two years against Argentine teams at the São Paulo stadium and solidified the overall record in Itaquera.

All in all, Alvinegro has already played 14 official matches against Argentine clubs at the Neo Química Arena. Timão’s overall numbers on home soil show a slight edge for Corinthians:

Matches: 14 Wins: 5 Draws: 5 Losses: 4 Goals scored: 16 Goals conceded: 12 Overall success rate: 47.62%

Record by Opponent in Itaquera Boca Juniors and Racing are the rivals that have stepped onto the arena pitch the most, with three meetings each. While the team from Avellaneda holds an annoying unbeaten run in São Paulo’s East Zone (three draws in three matches), Boca has already been beaten in Itaquera.

– Boca Juniors: 3 matches (1 win and 2 draws)– Racing: 3 matches (3 draws)– Argentinos Juniors: 2 matches (1 win and 1 loss)– Rosario Central: 1 match (1 win)– Estudiantes de La Plata: 1 match (1 win)– Newell’s Old Boys: 1 match (1 win)– Independiente: 1 match (1 loss)– Platense: 1 match (1 loss)– Huracán: 1 match (1 loss)

The numbers prove that, although home-field advantage is an important ally for Corinthians in continental competitions, facing Argentine clubs at the Neo Química Arena is always synonymous with an unpredictable battle decided by the finest of margins.

Overall record between Corinthians and Estudiantes

Across the six meetings between the teams, the first three were friendlies, all won by Corinthians. Then came the two matches in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana and the draw in the 2026 Libertadores.

The full record includes Alvinegro wins by 1-0 in 1936, 1-0 in 1982, 5-1 in 2009, and 1-0 in 2023. Estudiantes won the second leg of that year’s Sudamericana by 1-0, while the most recent meeting ended 1-1.

The initial run of four straight wins, between 1936 and the first clash of 2023, remains Corinthians’ longest unbeaten streak against the team from La Plata.
