Corinthians improve first-half return after Diniz arrival | OneFootball

Corinthians, along with the rest of Brazilian football, is currently on a break in the schedule due to the World Cup, which kicks off next week. Timão reaches the halfway point of a season in which it changed head coaches and went through ups and downs both at home and away.

Of the 37 matches played by Corinthians in 2026, 17 were at Neo Química Arena. Playing at home, the São Paulo black-and-white side has so far recorded nine wins, three draws, and five defeats, maintaining a 58.8% success rate. In addition, they scored 21 goals and conceded 12 in this span.

However, under Fernando Diniz, the numbers are more encouraging for Timão. In eight matches with the coach, the team has six wins, one draw, and just one defeat, for a 79.1% success rate. During this period, Corinthians scored ten goals and allowed only four.

As an away side this season, the statistics are less impressive. In 19 matches played away from Itaquera, Corinthians has recorded six wins, eight draws, and five defeats, amounting to a 45.6% return from the points contested. Away from home, the team scored 18 goals and conceded 19.

The away record under Fernando Diniz also brings better numbers. The team played eight matches, winning three, drawing another three, and losing twice, which represents a 50% success rate. In addition, the São Paulo black-and-white side scored ten goals and conceded eight.

Now, Corinthians will only return to action next month, more precisely on July 22. Diniz’s squad will host Remo at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship, with the kickoff time still to be confirmed.
