Corinthians enjoy first positive run at Itaquera since April | OneFootball

With goals from defender Gustavo Henrique and forward Memphis Depay, Corinthians had no trouble overcoming Grêmio on the afternoon of this Sunday, November 2, at Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship, winning by a score of 2-0.

The result, besides moving Corinthians further away from the relegation zone and placing them in tenth position with 42 points (11 wins, nine draws, and 11 losses – 34 goals scored and 35 conceded), allowed the club from Parque São Jorge to win three consecutive games in Itaquera for the first time since mid-April and early May.

On that occasion, Corinthians defeated Sport 2-1 in the fifth round of the Brasileirão, Racing-URU by 1-0 in a match valid for the third round of the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, and Internacional, 4-2, in a clash for the seventh round of the national competition, respectively.

This time, the club from Parque São Jorge won the last three home games, besides Grêmio, against Mirassol (3-0 – 27th round) and Atlético-MG (1-0 – 29th round), both matches for the Brazilian Championship. At one point this year, the Alvinegro went three months without winning at home – six games – in the national competition.

Corinthians has now practically eliminated their chances of relegation and approached the seventh position in the Brazilian Championship, currently occupied by Fluminense, with 47 points, which grants a spot in the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores.

The club from Parque São Jorge might not need the Brasileirão to secure the spot, as they are in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, where they will face Cruzeiro on December 10 and 14.
