Among the teams qualified for the round of 16, Timão has the third-best campaign. In the first phase of the Paulista Under-20 Championship, Alvinegro qualified as the runner-up of Group 1 with 32 points — 10 wins, two draws, and one loss, with 29 goals scored and three conceded. Santos led the group with the same number of points, taking the edge on goal difference (27 to 26).

In the second phase, Corinthians got past XV de Jaú by winning both matches 3-2 away from home and 2-0 at Parque São Jorge, respectively.
