Corinthians edge ahead in head-to-head with Grêmio and extend hoodoo | OneFootball

Corinthians traveled to the Arena do Grêmio on Saturday afternoon (30) to face Grêmio in a match valid for the 18th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, and won 3-1. Corinthians’ goals were scored by defensive midfielder André Luiz (twice) and forward Kaio César. The three points moved Alvinegro up to ninth place in the national competition table with 24 points — six wins, six draws, and six losses — with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded.

The victory gave the Parque São Jorge club the edge in the head-to-head history against the team from Rio Grande do Sul. Now, since the first meeting between the teams in December 1947, Corinthians have 37 wins, 32 draws, and 36 losses. In addition, they have scored 114 goals and conceded 125.

In addition, Alvinegro also extended a long unbeaten streak against Grêmio. Timão’s last defeat against the team from Rio Grande do Sul came on December 2, 2018, when they were beaten 1-0 at the Arena do Grêmio in the final round of that year’s Brazilian Championship. Since then, the teams have faced each other 15 more times, with five Corinthians wins and 10 draws — 18 goals scored and nine conceded.

Fernando Diniz’s side also maintained a positive run at the opponent’s stadium and won away from home again in the national competition after more than three months. Before that, their last positive result on the road had come on February 19, when, still under Dorival Júnior, Timão beat Athletico-PR 1-0 at the Arena da Baixada in the second round.

After beating Grêmio away from home in the Brasileirão, Corinthians now enter the break period for the World Cup, which will take place between June 11 and July 19. Timão will officially return to the pitch only in the week of July 22, with the date and time still to be confirmed, to face Remo at Neo Química Arena in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
