Brasileirão corner stats 2026: averages by team

Updated on 10/11/2026, with the 339 games up to matchweek 34 (one game missing, postponed). This article is refreshed every Tuesday.

The Brasileirão now has the highest corner average of the six leagues: 10.57 per game, ahead of the Bundesliga (10.42), and 58% of games reach 10. São Paulo win the most, but at 6.85 per game that is fewer than Benfica win in Portugal (7.55); Bahia's games have the most in total (11.82). In other words, in Brazil the high average comes from almost every team, not from two or three.

The league in numbers

CornerPro data, 339 games, 28/01 to 09/11/2026.

The average is 10.57 corners per game: 1.08 more than in the Premier League (9.49). The typical game has 10 corners (the median), and 58% of games reach 10 or more. In other words, a 10-corner game is common in the Brasileirão: it tends to happen in almost 6 games out of 10.

In 121 of the 339 games (36%) there were 12 corners or more; the quietest game had 2.

Home teams win 58% of the corners, 6.09 per game against 4.48 for the away side.

Corners by team

Two lists matter: who wins the most corners, and who lets the opponent win them. A team's games can be full of corners for either reason.

Who wins the most

Who concedes the most

Per game. "Total in their games" adds both teams' corners. CornerPro data, 339 games, 28/01 to 09/11/2026; teams have played 33 or 34; missing: Chapecoense v Vasco da Gama (matchweek 21, postponed). All 20 teams are on the corner stats page.

What stands out

Lots of corners, no dominant team

São Paulo, the leaders for corners won, win 6.85 per game; Benfica win 7.55 in the Liga Portugal. In Brazil the corners are spread more widely: 15 teams win more than 5 per game. Coritiba, by contrast, concede the most (7.00 per game).

São Paulo at the Morumbi

São Paulo win 7.76 corners per game at home and 5.94 away. Their games average 11.71 corners, and the game with the most corners this season was also theirs: São Paulo 2-2 Bahia on 3 May, with 24 (14-10). In other words, at home São Paulo tend to win more corners than away.

A game full of corners doesn't mean a team is winning them. They can almost all belong to the opponent.

Bahia's games have the most corners

Bahia's games now have the most corners (11.82), and 23 of their 34 reached 10 or more. Bahia win 5.68 and concede 6.15. In other words, in Bahia games the corners tend to come from both sides.

Palmeiras reach 10 most often

In 24 of Palmeiras' 34 games (71%) there were 10 or more corners, the highest share in the league. Away from home, Palmeiras' games average 12.18, and it is away that they concede most: 6.88 per game, against 4.12 at home. In other words, when Palmeiras play away, the corners tend to be plentiful.

Vasco and Flamengo keep games quiet

Vasco concede the fewest corners (4.00 per game) and their games average 9.67, the lowest in the league (Vitória are on 9.68). Flamengo win 5.74 and concede 4.21, and only 15 of 34 games reached 10. Even so, the most lopsided game of the season was theirs: against Corinthians on 13 September they won the corners 20-0. In other words, in Vasco and Flamengo games the expectation is for fewer corners than the league average.

Corners aren't goals

Internacional are 3rd for corners won (6.12 per game) and 16th for goals scored: 38 in 34 games. In other words, winning corners is not the same as scoring.

How to use these numbers

Start with the league and finish with the live game:

1. Start with the league: at 10.57 on average, a game with 10 or more corners is common in the Brasileirão (58% of games).
2. Split for and against: Coritiba concede 7.00 corners per game; in their games the opponent's corners weigh a lot.
3. Check home and away: Athletico Paranaense win 6.88 corners per game at home and 4.00 away.
4. Confirm it live: the average tells you what usually happens; live pressure tells you whether it is happening today.
