It could have been better, it could have been worse for Corinthians, who have two draws to show from their last three matches. They came up short in a 2-0 defeat against Sao Paulo, followed by a 0-0 draw against Cruzeiro. They recorded yet another one in the latest round after a 1-1 match with Botafogo RJ. Corinthians won three of their previous six matches at Neo Quimica Arena in the Serie A. They drew two and suffered one defeats, scoring eight goals to five against.

Corinthians had their sights set on the Serie A title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.
