Corinthians seek better attacking form at home in Brazilian league run | OneFootball

Corinthians will face a busy schedule when the season resumes after the World Cup break. In addition to the round of 16 clashes in the Copa do Brasil, against Internacional, and the Conmebol Libertadores, against Rosario Central of Argentina, the team will also have the remaining 20 matches of the Brazilian Championship ahead. In the national competition, one of the challenges will be improving its attacking performance at home.

So far, Timão have played nine home matches in the Brasileirão, eight at Neo Química Arena and one at Vila Belmiro, the venue for their opening match against Bahia. During this stretch, the club has recorded four wins, two draws, and three defeats, a campaign worth 14 points and enough to place Corinthians 13th in the home performance ranking.

The main obstacle has been attacking output. With only nine goals scored in nine matches, Corinthians have the fewest goals among clubs that have played at home in the Brazilian Championship so far. In three matches, the team left the pitch without finding the net: in the 0 x 0 draw with Palmeiras and in the defeats to Coritiba, 2 x 0, and Flamengo, 1 x 0.

Despite the overall numbers, the team’s performance has improved since the arrival of coach Fernando Diniz. Of the nine home matches, five were played under Dorival Júnior. During that period, Corinthians managed just one win, one draw, and three defeats, for a 26.7% points rate. The attack also scored only four goals, an average of 0.8 per match.

Under Fernando Diniz, however, the picture changed. In four home matches in the Brasileirão, Corinthians earned three wins and one draw, reaching a 75% points rate. The team also became more productive offensively, scoring five goals, an average of 1.25 per game.

Timão’s next home match in the Brazilian Championship will be against Remo on July 23, in the 19th round, which closes out the first half of the competition. With a win, Corinthians will reach 17 home points and could climb in the home performance standings. The team would overtake Vasco and Cruzeiro, both with 16 points, and could also draw level with Santos, depending on goal difference.
