Corinthians v Coritiba: top-three hosts meet strong travellers | OneFootball

Corinthians host Coritiba in the Brasileirão on Thursday, 12 March 2026 in São Paulo, with the hosts defending a top-three place and the visitors aiming to build on better away form.

Corinthians have dominated recent meetings with Coritiba, winning both 2023 league clashes, 3-1 at home in August and 2-0 away in December, after two draws were shared in 2022.

Timão arrive with two wins and a draw from their last three league games, including victories over Athletico Paranaense and RB Bragantino before a draw at Cruzeiro. Coxa's only league win so far came away at Cruzeiro, and all four of their points have arrived on the road.

The hosts are without Matheus Pereira, Hugo, Kaio César and Felipe Longo through injury. For the visitors, Josue is suspended, with Rodrigues, Benassi and Pedro Morisco sidelined.

Coringão have conceded only three times in four league matches and may look to lean on that defensive platform. The visitors have scored five away in the league and could threaten in transitions, but with six conceded overall, game management will matter.

A win would move Timão to 10 points and could take them level with the current leaders, strengthening their grip on Libertadores qualification. Coxa-Branca would rise to seven points with victory and may edge towards the top half.
