The Corinthians side had the same streak in July, when they beat Juventus (H – 4 x 2), Palmeiras (H – 3 x 1), Vasco da Gama (A – 0 x 3), Barcelona Esportivo Capela (A – 0 x 2) and Internacional (H – 4 x 0). All of these matches were played in the Paulista Championship and the Brazilian Championship for the age group. If they beat the Campinas team, they will match their best run of the year in terms of consecutive wins.

Corinthians have not won six straight matches in this age group since 2024. That year, between April and May, the Parque São Jorge club beat São Caetano, Santo André, Portuguesa, AD Centro Olímpico, Juventus and São Caetano by 9 x 1, 5 x 0, 2 x 0, 5 x 0, 2 x 1 and 3 x 1, respectively, in that order.

In 2026, the team led by Guilherme Nascimento, who took charge this year, has recorded 25 wins, five draws and seven defeats, which represents a 72% success rate. In addition, they have scored 119 goals and conceded 40. In the Brasileirão Under-17 qualifying stage, the Sons of Terrão had the second-best campaign with 39 points — 12 wins, three draws and four defeats — with 58 goals scored and 20 conceded.

After facing Ponte Preta away from home in the first leg of the third round of the Paulista Under-17 Championship, Corinthians will turn their focus back to the Brazilian Championship in the age group. That is because next Wednesday (7), at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), the Sons of Terrão will visit Flamengo at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro, in Rio de Janeiro, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the tournament. The return leg will take place on the 13th, at the same time, but this time at Parque São Jorge.
