Corinthians among the worst home teams at the start of the season | OneFootball

On the evening of last Wednesday (11), Corinthians hosted Coritiba at the Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, and were defeated 2-0. The negative result at home left the team only in tenth place in the national competition with seven points – two wins, one draw, and two losses – five goals scored and five conceded.

The setback at home reignited the team's alert regarding their performance as hosts in the 2026 season. In total, so far, there have been seven matches, with three wins, one draw, and three losses. Additionally, there have been 10 goals scored and six conceded, with a success rate of only 47.62%.

According to data released by R10 Score, Alvinegro has, alongside Mirassol, the second worst home performance among the Série A teams of the 2026 Brazilian Championship season. Within this context, the team with the worst performance is Vasco da Gama, with only 37.50% of points earned at home.

It’s worth remembering that one of Corinthians’ home matches this year took place at Vila Belmiro, on January 28. On that occasion, 13,577 fans attended the team’s loss, by comeback, 2-1, against Bahia. Alvinegro chose to play at that venue due to logistics and preparation time for the Supercopa do Brasil final, which took place just a few days later (1), against Flamengo, in Brasília.

Disregarding that match and counting only games at Neo Química Arena in 2026, there have been three wins, one draw, and two losses – nine goals scored and only four conceded. In this case, the success rate jumps to 55.56%. Furthermore, also according to R10 Score, Corinthians has only nine wins – along with six draws and seven losses – in the last 22 home matches in the Brasileirão, representing a performance of just 50% of the points.

Corinthians’ next home match will only be on March 22, Sunday, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Flamengo, at Neo Química Arena, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. Before that, Alvinegro visits Santos at 4 p.m. this Sunday (15), and then Chapecoense on the 19th, at Arena Condá.
