Corinthians set worst home losing streak at Neo Química Arena after Fluminense defeat | OneFootball

Corinthians lost 3-1 to Fluminense on Sunday in the 28th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, leaving the club on their worst home run at the Neo Química Arena.

According to Meu Timao, the setback extends a damaging spell for Fernando Diniz's team. The home sequence began with a 1-0 loss to Santos on 30 August, then 2-1 against Chapecoense, and 1-0 to Estudiantes which ended their Copa Libertadores campaign.

This surpasses the previous low at the Casa do Povo in 2021. That sequence started with a 1-0 defeat to Atlético-GO in the league on 30 May, followed by 2-0 to the same opponents in the Copa do Brasil on 2 June, then 2-1 to Red Bull Bragantino on 16 June.

League form is also bleak, with six straight Brasileirão defeats, a negative mark last seen in 2006. Timão are 14th on 32 points, the gap to the relegation zone down to three.

They now sit four points off the Sul-Americana places and 14 from the Libertadores spots. The calendar pauses for the Data Fifa, giving a little over two weeks without a game.

Corinthians return on Wednesday 7 October away to Internacional at Beira-Rio, kick-off 19:30, for round 29.
