After being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, Corinthians will have only the Brazilian Championship on their schedule until the end of 2026. There are 11 rounds left for Timão, who enter the decisive stretch of the competition aiming to secure their place in the top division.

Half of the remaining matches will be played at Neo Química Arena. The São Paulo club will host Fluminense, Vitória, Mirassol, Botafogo, and Grêmio in front of their fans. Away from home, the opponents will be Internacional, Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama, São Paulo, Atlético-MG, and Remo.

The run begins this Sunday (20), with the match against Fluminense. The game, valid for the 28th round of the Brasileirão, is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at Neo Química Arena. In the meeting between the teams in the first half of the season, when Dorival Júnior was still in charge of Corinthians, the black-and-white side ended up being beaten by the Rio club 3-1 at the Maracanã.

Corinthians enter this final stretch in 14th place in the table, with 32 points. So far, they have recorded eight wins, eight draws, and 11 defeats. The performance represents a 39% success rate, with 28 goals scored and 29 conceded.

With 33 points still up for grabs, Timão need to turn the final stretch into a points race. The traditional benchmark to avoid relegation under the current Brazilian Championship format is 45 points. Therefore, Corinthians would need at least 13 more points to reach that number in the remaining 11 matches.
