Corinthians target derby win to improve home form in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians return to Neo Química Arena on Sunday for a derby with Santos, aiming to sharpen a patchy home campaign in the Brasileirão. According to Meu Timao, the match is scheduled for 16:00.

The club have a 50% home record so far, with 12 matches yielding five wins, three draws and four defeats. One of those fixtures was staged at Vila Belmiro against Bahia despite counting as a home game.

That return leaves Timão 12th in the home form table. Fluminense lead, winning nine of 13 home matches for a 77% return.

Beating Santos would lift Corinthians’ home rate to 53.8%. Results elsewhere could also see them climb as high as sixth in that specific ranking.

Santos have struggled on the road, with only one away victory, and sit 14th among the division’s travellers.

In the overall standings, Corinthians are 10th on 32 points. A derby win could move the side coached by Fernando Diniz up to seventh, dependent on other results.
