Corinthians top defensive stats among Série A clubs in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Last Thursday, Corinthians drew 0-0 with Chapecoense at Arena Condá, in a match valid for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the result, the defensive performance put the club in the spotlight: Timão became the Série A team with the most games without conceding a goal this season, totaling eight, and is also among those with the fewest goals conceded, with 14, according to R10 Score data.

Throughout 2026, the team led by Dorival Júnior played 18 matches, accumulating seven wins, six draws, and five losses. During this period, they scored 19 goals — an average of 1.06 per game — and conceded 14, which represents 0.78 per match.

The clean sheets happened in different competitions. In the Campeonato Paulista, Corinthians beat Ponte Preta (3-0), Velo Clube (1-0), Capivariano (3-0), and São Bernardo FC (1-0). In the Supercopa do Brasil, they defeated Flamengo 2-0 in the final. In the Brasileirão, they also kept a clean sheet in wins against Red Bull Bragantino (2-0) and Athletico-PR (1-0), as well as in the 0-0 draw against Chapecoense.

In the current edition of the Brazilian Championship, the club still boasts the third-best defense, with six goals conceded in seven games. Only Flamengo and São Paulo have better numbers, with four goals conceded each.

Even with defensive solidity, the results have not matched the performance. The team is on a run of six matches without a win, with the last victory coming on February 19, against Athletico-PR, at Arena da Baixada.

Offensive difficulties have been one of the determining factors in this scenario, as Corinthians have found the net only four times during this period. The chance to change this situation will be this Sunday, when the team hosts Flamengo at Neo Química Arena, at 8:30 p.m., for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship.
