Corinthians returns to the field this Sunday for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão faces Flamengo at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo (SP). The match is scheduled for 8:30 PM (Brasília time).
Corinthians comes into the match in a bad phase. Without a win in six games, Timão occupies ninth place in the Brazilian Championship, with nine points.
On the other hand, Flamengo is in great form. Unbeaten in five games, Leonardo Jardim’s team has found its rhythm, winning three consecutive matches in the Brasileirão and closing in on the leaders. Currently, Rubro-Negro is in fourth place, with 13 points.
According to data from Ogol, Corinthians and Flamengo have faced each other 125 times in history, with a slight advantage for Rubro-Negro: 55 wins, 25 draws, and 45 losses. The last match took place on February 1, 2026, at Mané Garrincha, and ended with a victory for Timão, 2-0.
After resting players against Chapecoense, Dorival Júnior is expected to field his full-strength squad against Flamengo.
Currently, Corinthians has only three absences: Felipe Longo (right elbow ligament strain), Hugo (recovering from surgery to repair a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee), and Jesse Lingard (not yet registered with the BID).
On the other side, Flamengo has four absences for the match against Corinthians. In the win over Remo, defender Léo Pereira and midfielder Pulgar received their third yellow cards and are therefore suspended for the match.
They join the injured Bruno Henrique (pubalgia) and Saúl (heel surgery).
