Corinthians struggle in the Brasileirão under Dorival Júnior | OneFootball

Corinthians is going through a period of instability this season, especially in the Brazilian Championship. The team has now gone eight consecutive matches without a win, a scenario that directly impacts the club’s numbers under head coach Dorival Júnior.

Since the coach’s arrival, Timão has played 38 official matches with Dorival on the sidelines. During that span, there were 11 wins, 14 draws, and 13 losses, with 40 goals scored and 42 conceded, resulting in a points percentage just above 40%. The numbers reflect an inconsistent performance, with difficulty turning balanced matches into positive results.

On some occasions, assistant coach Lucas Silvestre took charge of the team in the head coach’s absence. In those matches, Corinthians recorded one win and two losses, with four goals scored and five conceded. The only positive result came against Mirassol, still in the previous season.

Considering the entire coaching staff, Corinthians has played 41 matches during the period. In total, there were 12 wins, 14 draws, and 15 losses, in addition to 44 goals scored and 47 conceded. The team kept a clean sheet in 13 of those matches, but still holds an overall points percentage of around 40%.

Despite the numbers in the Brazilian Championship, the club managed to win the Copa do Brasil last season, which partially balances the situation. Even so, the team’s performance in the national competition remains a point of concern.

Corinthians returns to the field this Sunday (05), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when it hosts Internacional at Neo Química Arena for the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship, looking to end the negative streak and improve its numbers in the competition.
