Corinthians back in Brasileirão bottom four after more than a year | OneFootball

Corinthians dropped back into the bottom four of the Brazilian Championship after spending more than a year away from that situation. The fall into the relegation zone was confirmed at the end of the 12th round, played last Saturday (18), after a scoreless draw against Vitória away from home.

The black-and-white team had not finished a round in the relegation zone since October 2024. Since then, they had kept their distance from the bottom of the table, but their current performance in the competition resulted in a return to the danger zone.

With the point earned in Salvador, Corinthians were overtaken by direct rivals and dropped to 17th place. The team had already been close to the bottom four in recent rounds, always near the lower end of the standings, but had managed to stay out until then.

Their recent run weighs heavily on the current situation. The club has now gone nine consecutive matches without a win in the Brasileirão, which has hurt their points tally and made any climb up the table more difficult.

Recent surveys also show that Corinthians have been dealing with instability in recent editions of the competition. Since 2023, the team has been in the relegation zone for 27 rounds out of a total of 126 played in the period, which represents just over one-fifth of the rounds in that condition.

The team is now trying to respond and leave the uncomfortable zone as soon as possible. Their next Brazilian Championship match will be against Vasco on Sunday (26), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). Before that, the squad turns its attention to the Copa do Brasil, with a clash against Barra, from Santa Catarina, on Tuesday (22), at 9:30 p.m.
