Corinthians will host Ceará this Sunday afternoon (9th) at the Neo Química Arena at 4 PM (Brasília time) in a match valid for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Alvinegro occupies the 12th position in the national tournament with 42 points (11 wins, nine draws, and 11 losses – 34 goals scored and 35 conceded) – the club lost two positions on the table after the start of the round this Saturday (8th).
The Alvinegro is looking to recover in the national tournament after suffering a defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, which interrupted a series of three consecutive victories for Corinthians against Atlético-MG (1 x 0), Vitória (1 x 0), and Grêmio (2 x 0). A victory this Sunday will be important to definitively eliminate the chances of relegation and also put the team back in the fight for a spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

Refereeing
The refereeing team for the game in Itaquera is composed of Felipe Fernandes de Lima (MG) as the main referee, assisted by Felipe Alan Costa de Oliveira (MG) and Douglas Pagung (ES). Marco Aurélio Augusto Fazekas Ferreira (MG) will be in charge of the VAR.
