Corinthians can leap into Brasileirão top half with win over Internacional | OneFootball

On Sunday night (5), Corinthians host Internacional at Neo Química Arena at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 10th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. The team from São Paulo faces the club from Rio Grande do Sul seeking a win that could result in a jump to the top half of the table.

Currently, Timão sit in 15th place in the national competition, with ten points from nine matches played — two wins, three draws, and four defeats. Therefore, in the event of a Corinthians victory and slip-ups by Atlético-MG, Grêmio, Red Bull Bragantino, and Vitória, Dorival Júnior’s team could climb to eighth place.

On the other hand, a defeat could send Corinthians into the relegation zone and worsen their situation in the Brasileirão. If the team suffers an adverse result and Chapecoense beat Vitória at Arena Condá this Sunday, Timão would drop to 17th place, as they would also be overtaken by Internacional themselves.

In addition, the team from São Paulo are looking for a win to end a negative run and drive away the crisis. Corinthians have not won in eight matches, with their last victory coming against Athletico-PR on February 19 at Arena da Baixada in the Brazilian Championship.

After the clash against Internacional, Timão will shift their focus for the season. That is because the team will travel to Argentina to face Platense at Estádio Ciudad de Vicente López next Thursday (9) at 9 p.m., in the opening round of the Copa Libertadores group stage.
