On the night of this Wednesday (April 1), Corinthians will take the field for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão faces Fluminense at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã and heads into the match looking to extend the positive run it has been enjoying against the opponent at the stadium.

Corinthians’ overall record against Fluminense at the Maracanã is not positive. There have been 44 matches, with nine Corinthians wins, 17 draws, and 18 wins for the home side, in addition to 45 goals for the São Paulo black-and-whites and 67 for the Rio side.

On the other hand, a more recent snapshot of the history is encouraging for Corinthians. Timão has not lost to the opponent at the Maracanã for more than three years, totaling three draws and one defeat in this period, with six goals scored and five conceded.

Corinthians’ last defeat came on July 2, 2022, still in the first half of that season’s Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, the São Paulo black-and-whites, coached by Portuguese manager Vitor Pereira, took the field with an alternate lineup and ended up suffering a 4–0 thrashing.

The last meeting between Corinthians and Fluminense took place on September 13, 2025, also at the Maracanã, in the second half of the Brasileirão. The match ended in a 1–0 win for the black-and-whites, with the goal scored by right-back Matheuzinho.

The São Paulo black-and-whites come into the match in 11th place in the national competition, with ten points won in eight rounds — two wins, four draws, and two losses. A victory could take the team up to eighth place in the table.
