Corinthians end first half with middling away record this decade | OneFootball

Corinthians closed out the first half of the 2026 season with an important win away from home. On May 30, Timão defeated Grêmio 3-1 at the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre and wrapped up its commitments before the break with an away record marked by a balance between good results and setbacks.

Despite securing relevant wins on the road throughout the semester, the black-and-white team showed inconsistency across different competitions and ended the period with the third-best away record among the first 18 official matches of each season this decade, outside Neo Química Arena.

The 2026 away campaign began with a 3-0 loss to Red Bull Bragantino on January 15 in the Campeonato Paulista. Over the following months, Corinthians picked up wins against Velo Clube, Athletico-PR, Platense, Barra-SC, and Grêmio.

In addition to the victories, Timão also recorded draws against Santos (twice), Portuguesa, Cruzeiro, Chapecoense, Vitória, Independiente Santa Fe, and Peñarol. The remaining defeats came against Novorizontino, Fluminense, Mirassol, and Botafogo.

In total, Corinthians played 18 away matches in the first half of the year: nine in the Brazilian Championship, five in the Campeonato Paulista, three in the Libertadores, and one in the Copa do Brasil. The final record was five wins, eight draws, and five losses, totaling a 42.59% success rate. The team scored 16 goals and conceded 19.

The figure puts the start of 2026 behind only the 2021, 2022, and 2025 campaigns in the comparison of the first 18 official away matches of the decade. The current performance surpasses the marks posted in 2024 and 2023.

In 2022 and 2025, Corinthians reached a 44.44% success rate away from home after the same 18 matches, with six wins, six draws, and six losses. The best start of the decade belongs to 2021, when the club posted a 61.11% success rate, with nine wins, six draws, and only three losses.
