Corinthians account for half of Brasileirão 2026’s goalless draws | OneFootball

The 0-0 draw against Vitória last Saturday (19), in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship, reinforced a noteworthy statistic in Corinthians’ performance in the competition. The black-and-white club has already been involved in half of the goalless matches in the 2026 edition.

According to a survey by SofaScore, so far only six Brasileirão matches have ended 0-0, and three of them involved Corinthians. The number represents 50% of all goalless draws recorded in the tournament so far.

The run began in the seventh round, when Timão drew with Chapecoense away from home. On that occasion, the team created chances but failed to beat the opposing goalkeeper. Then, in the 11th round, the same scoreline was repeated in the derby against Palmeiras at Neo Química Arena, in a match marked by red cards and a strong defensive display.

The third goalless result came against Vitória at Barradão. Unlike the other matchups, the clash in Bahia featured little attacking production from either team, with few shots over the 90 minutes.

The goalless draws are part of Corinthians’ recent negative run in the Brazilian Championship. The team has gone nine matches without a win and dropped into the relegation zone after the end of the round.

During this period, in addition to the three 0-0 draws, the team also recorded 1-1 draws against Cruzeiro, Santos, and Flamengo, as well as defeats to Coritiba, Fluminense, and Internacional. The last victory came in February, when they beat Athletico-PR 1-0.

Now, Corinthians are splitting their focus between two competitions. Before returning to the pitch in the Brasileirão, when they face Vasco on Sunday (26) at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), the team takes on Barra-SC this Tuesday (21) at 9:30 p.m. at Ressacada in the Copa do Brasil.
