Corinthians end winless run against Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Corinthians hosted Atlético-MG on the night of Saturday, October 18, at the Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship and won 1-0. Midfielder Maycon scored the Corinthians goal at the start of the second half. With the three points gained, the Alvinegro temporarily rises to 12th place with 36 points (nine wins, nine draws, and 11 losses – 31 goals scored and 35 conceded).

The victory, besides being crucial to distance the team from the bottom positions, broke a four-game winless streak against the Minas Gerais team – three draws and one loss. Previously, the last Corinthians victory over the opponent was on July 8, 2023, when, with a goal by Róger Guedes, they won 1-0 at Mineirão, during the final stretch of the first round of that year's national tournament.

Regarding the matches between the teams at the Neo Química Arena, inaugurated in 2014, Corinthians extended their advantage and now has six wins, five draws, and three losses against the opponent – 14 goals scored and nine conceded. However, Atlético-MG has not won in Itaquera since November 2022, during the last round of that year's Brasileirão, with a 1-0 victory.

Since then, there have been three matches between Corinthians and Atlético-MG in the eastern zone, with two Corinthians victories and two draws. Considering the overall numbers, Alvinegro also saw their advantage increase. Now there are 44 wins, 31 draws, and 40 losses in 115 matches in history – 156 goals scored and 145 conceded.

Additionally, Corinthians defeated Atlético-MG at the Neo Química Arena in matches valid for the Brazilian Championship for the first time since September 1, 2019, when they also beat the opponent 1-0, with a goal by striker Gustavo. Since then, in national competition matches, there have been five games at the Corinthians' home, with three losses (2020, 2021, and 2022) and two draws (2023 and 2024).

Seeking their second consecutive victory in the Brazilian Championship – something unprecedented so far in this year's tournament – Corinthians will return to the field only next Saturday, October 25, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 30th round of the Brasileirão, at Estádio Barradão.
