Corinthians eye G7, face tough run in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

The Corinthians still dreams of securing a spot in the G7 of the Brazilian Championship, but they will face a tough sequence ahead. Dorival Júnior's team will face three rivals who are at the top of the table in the upcoming rounds, which could determine Timão's fate in the tournament.

The first challenge will be the classic match against São Paulo at the Neo Química Arena. Besides the rivalry, the duel pits two teams against each other that are fighting for a spot in the 2026 Libertadores. The black-and-white team is trying to break its recent fluctuations to stay alive in the competition.

Next, Corinthians will visit Cruzeiro at Mineirão. Raposa is having a solid campaign and occupies the third position in Serie A. The clash will also be a preview of the Copa do Brasil semifinal, which will be contested between the teams in December.

Concluding the series, Timão returns to Itaquera to host Botafogo. The team from Rio is currently in the sixth position and aims for a place in the G4.
