Corinthians seek to extend positive record over Cruzeiro ahead of Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Corinthians host Cruzeiro at the Neo Química Arena on Sunday at 19:30 in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, aiming to extend their positive head-to-head record.

According to Meu Timao, the São Paulo club are targeting three points to keep that edge intact.

The clubs have met 99 times, with Corinthians ahead on 41 wins to Cruzeiro's 33, plus 25 draws. In goals, Corinthians lead 125 to 114.

A recent highlight came in the 2025 Copa do Brasil semi-final, when Corinthians won away and lost in Itaquera, then advanced on penalties.

Their most recent meeting was in February, a 1-1 draw at the Mineirão, where Corinthians fell behind before João Pedro equalised with a late header.

Only one point separates them in the table, with Corinthians seventh on 32 points and Cruzeiro fifth on 33.

A home win could lift Corinthians into the G5 by the end of the round, if other results help, a band that secures a 2027 Libertadores preliminary berth.
