Copa do Brasil boost? Corinthians have won 9 by 2+ goals in 2026 | OneFootball

Corinthians will need to beat Internacional by at least two goals next Thursday at Neo Química Arena to take their Copa do Brasil round-of-16 tie to a penalty shootout. Despite the challenge, the team’s record this season shows that the required scoreline has already been achieved several times in 2026.

Over the course of the year, Timão have recorded nine wins by two or more goals, a performance that would be enough to level the tie against the team from Rio Grande do Sul after the 2-0 defeat at Beira-Rio. The survey shows that the squad have already demonstrated the ability to build convincing results throughout the season. Narrowing the focus to the current coaching staff’s work, of the nine wins by a margin of at least two goals, five have already come under Fernando Diniz, who arrived in April.

Home advantage

Neo Química Arena also stands out as a key asset for Alvinegro. Corinthians usually raise their level when playing in front of the Fiel Torcida and have already produced other memorable knockout-round qualifications in recent years, a scenario that boosts confidence for the decisive clash against Internacional, especially in the Copa do Brasil. The most recent comebacks after losing 2-0 in the first leg of the tournament came in 2023, against Remo and Atlético-MG; both matches ended 2-0 for Timão, with qualification secured on penalties.

On Thursday, Timão need to win by two goals to force a penalty shootout. If they manage a victory by three or more goals, they will book a direct place in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals.
