After 28 days, here are Corinthians’ relegation chances in the Brazilian championship

The 2023 Brazilian Championship finds the latest developments. After 28 rounds, Corinthians looks increasingly destined to fight against relegation to the second division of the national championship.




At this moment, according to Timão’s data, the probability of relegation is 25.3%. UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais). Corinthians are only behind América-MG (99.61%), Coritiba (98.9%), Vasco (51.7%), Santos (50.3%) and Goiás (36.7%) in the mathematics of possibilities of descent.

In the standings, Team do Povo is in 15th place, with 33 points scored, three more than Z4. The match against América-MG in the last round could have given Corinthians a break, but the team was at the bottom of the table, with a last minute goal from Giuliano.

What worries Alvinegro is the low number of victories, the first playoff criterion in the national tournament. Vasco and Santos, the top two teams in Z4, have eight league victories, one more than Timão.

As far as the Copa Sudamericano standings are concerned, Corinthians currently have a 28% chance of securing a place in the continental competition. The numbers of the team in the second round prevent Mano Menezes’ men from reaching higher heights, as the team has the second worst season in this section of the Brazilian championship, with nine points in nine games played.

Cuiabá (70.7%), Fortaleza (70.5%), Fluminense (67%), Internacional (57.1%), Atlético-MG (54.2%), Bahia (52.7%), Grêmio ( 46.5%), Cruzeiro (42.8%) and Atletico-PR (31.7%) is the team that precedes Corinthians in the fight for the South American Championship classification, according also to the mathematicians of UFMG.

Timão has the chance to improve his situation in the Brazilian championship standings this Wednesday, at the Arena Pantanal. Corinthians visits coach António Oliveira’s Cuiabá, in a match valid for the 29th round. Subsequently, Alvinegro receives Santos and Athletico-PR, sequentially, at the Neo Química Arena.
