Corinthians seek record home winning streak against Ceará | OneFootball

After going through a period of instability at Neo Química Arena, Corinthians is chasing its longest winning streak as a home team in the current edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The Alvinegro from São Paulo faces Ceará and is aiming for this goal.

Corinthians is coming off a run of three consecutive home victories in Série A and, this Sunday, will be seeking a fourth against Ceará. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), for the 33rd round of the national tournament.

Timão secured wins against Mirassol, Atlético-MG, and Grêmio in their last three games at Neo Química Arena. The Corinthians team defeated their São Paulo rival 3-0. Then, they beat Galo 1-0. Finally, in the last match, they won against the Tricolor from Rio Grande do Sul 2-0.

So far, Corinthians' longest home winning streak in the Campeonato Brasileiro had been right at the start of the competition, between April and May of this year. One of those wins came under interim coach Orlando Ribeiro, who is no longer part of the club's under-20 team.

At that time, Timão strung together consecutive home wins against Sport (2-1), Internacional (4-2), and Santos (1-0). The first was with Orlando Ribeiro, while the last two were already under coach Dorival Júnior. There was also a draw, which extended the team's unbeaten run to four matches.

A draw against Ceará, therefore, would see Corinthians match its best unbeaten streak at the Arena in this edition of the Brasileirão. A win, on the other hand, would bring an unprecedented streak for the team. A loss could end any kind of run.

Corinthians went through a period of instability at the Arena in this Série A. The Alvinegro from São Paulo accumulated a negative record of seven consecutive games without a win, with four draws and three losses. The last of these was against Flamengo, coming from behind, 2-1.

Now, in the decisive stretch of the season, the Corinthians team has found its form again at home with the current winning streak and has made the most of the fans' support. The question remains whether the team can secure a fourth win this Sunday.

Timão defends unbeaten record against Ceará at the Arena

Corinthians is also defending a six-year unbeaten record against Ceará as the home team. Timão hasn't lost to the Ceará side at the Arena since 2019. Since then, there have been four encounters, with three wins for the home side and one draw.

In the last clash in Itaquera, Corinthians came out victorious 1-0, in the 36th round of the Brasileirão. Yuri Alberto found the net in the 45th minute of the second half and secured the win for Timão.

Corinthians' position in the standings

Corinthians sits in 12th place in the standings, with 42 points. Timão is coming off a loss to Red Bull Bragantino and is seeking a win against Ceará to get back in the fight for a spot in the G7.
