Corinthians seek to end drought against Flamengo at the Arena | OneFootball

This Sunday, Corinthians and Flamengo will replay the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil clash, this time for the Brazilian Championship. Timão hosts Rubro-Negro at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena, where they do not have a good track record in this matchup and are looking to overcome history to put an end to the team's winless streak.

Despite being recognized as a tough home team to beat, Corinthians does not have positive numbers at the Arena against the team from Rio. In the last 10 matches between the teams, Alvinegro has come out victorious on only two occasions. On the other hand, Flamengo has triumphed four times, while the other four matches ended in a draw.

In total, Rubro-Negro has six wins since the inauguration of Neo Química Arena. The team from Rio, in fact, is not only one of the few teams to have an advantage over Corinthians in the record of matches played at the stadium, but also inflicted the heaviest defeat suffered by Timão in Itaquera, with a 5-1 win in 2020.

After resting some of its starters in the draw against Chapecoense last Thursday, Corinthians is aiming for a new triumph over Flamengo this season, since they faced each other in the Supercopa do Brasil final, in which Timão took the trophy after winning 2-0.

If they overcome Rubro-Negro, Corinthians will end a six-game winless streak. The last time Timão achieved a positive result was against Athletico-PR, a month ago.
