v Chapecoense, Corinthians seek to avoid worst Itaquera run in Brasileirão | OneFootball

On Sunday night (6), Corinthians will host Chapecoense at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in a match valid for the 26th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. The club from Parque São Jorge currently sits only in 11th place in the national competition with 32 points — eight wins, eight draws, and nine losses — with 26 goals scored and 25 conceded.

Against the team from Santa Catarina, the Alvinegro will look to avoid matching its worst home streak in five months in this Brasileirão. Between mid-March and April, Timão went four matches without winning at home in the national competition, recording two draws (Flamengo and Palmeiras) and two defeats (Coritiba and Internacional) — one goal scored and four conceded. This is also Timão’s worst home run this year.

The current streak is three home games without a win in the Brazilian Championship. On July 30, in the 21st round of the national competition, Timão drew 0-0 with Athletico-PR. Then, on August 16 and 30, in the 23rd and 25th rounds of the Brasileirão, the club from Parque São Jorge was beaten by Cruzeiro and Santos by scores of 2-1 and 1-0, respectively.

Corinthians, which had been relying on Neo Química Arena as a major strength in its Brazilian Championship campaigns in recent years, has been performing below expectations at the Casa do Povo in this edition of the tournament. So far, the record is five wins, three draws, and four losses — 12 goals scored and nine conceded. It is worth noting that, in this year’s Brasileirão opener, Timão played at Vila Belmiro against Bahia. Counting that match, the home record is five wins, three draws, and five losses — 13 goals scored and 11 conceded.

This weekend, Alvinegro will seek all three points against Chapecoense to avoid a negative feat that has not happened in the national competition since September 2007. Looking at the home table in this Brazilian Championship, Corinthians is only in 15th place with 18 points, ahead of only Chapecoense (11), Internacional (14), Remo (14), Botafogo (16), and Coritiba (18).
