Corinthians eye G6 spot with favourable run of fixtures in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

With the 1-0 victory over Vitória last Saturday at Barradão, Corinthians has distanced itself from the relegation zone and finally started a winning streak in the Brazilian Championship. The team's focus is now on securing a spot in the Libertadores next year.

Timão currently occupies the tenth position on the table, with 39 points. The advantage over the Z4 is eight points, the same distance to the G6.

Accessible Sequence

With an eye on the Libertadores, Corinthians has an accessible sequence to climb even higher in the table in the upcoming rounds. Dorival Júnior's team will play three of the next four rounds at home, in front of their fans.

The first commitment will be the direct clash against Grêmio, this Sunday, at Neo Química Arena. Right after, the alvinegra team visits Red Bull Bragantino, another team below in the standings. The other two games in Itaquera will be against Ceará and São Paulo.

Spot via Copa do Brasil

Besides the G6, Corinthians can also secure a spot in the Libertadores through the Copa do Brasil. However, for that, the team needs to be the champion of the competition.

Timão is qualified for the semifinals of the tournament. The opponent in the next phase will be Cruzeiro. On the other side of the bracket, Vasco and Fluminense are fighting for a spot in the grand final.

To avoid relying on a potential title, Dorival Júnior's team is trying to go as far as possible in the Brasileirão and, thus, ensure their participation in South America's main tournament.
