Corinthians host Majestoso derby, eyeing G6 push | OneFootball

Corinthians saw its rise in the Brazilian Championship come to a halt last Wednesday with a 2-1 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino at Estádio Municipal Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista. The team led by coach Dorival Jr. will now have two home games, one of them against São Paulo, a direct rival in the battle for the G6.

Standing in the Table

Timão, who had three consecutive wins, was dreaming of the G6 and was six points away from the qualification zone for the next stage of the Copa Libertadores. With the defeat, however, Corinthians remained in tenth place, with 42 points, nine less than Botafogo, who closes out the G6.

Corinthians’ next opponent, Ceará, has 38 points, just four points fewer than Timão. Vozão is four points above the Z4 and 13 from the G6. São Paulo, meanwhile, occupies eighth place, with 45. At the moment, they are just three ahead of Corinthians and six behind Botafogo.

With the all-Brazilian final in the 2025 Libertadores between the leader and runner-up of the Brasileirão, Palmeiras and Flamengo, the G6 is expected to become a G7, thus opening up one more spot for the continental tournament.

Corinthians’ Performance at Neo Química Arena

This season, Corinthians has played 15 home games, with seven wins, four draws, and four losses. With a success rate of 55.6%, Timão is only 12th among the best home teams in the Brazilian Championship. In their last home match, the Parque São Jorge team beat Grêmio 2-0.
