Alvinegro come into the match on the back of two straight wins, achieved in different competitions. In the Brazilian U-17 Championship, the team coached by Guilherme Nascimento beat Atlético-MG 2-1. Then, in the Paulista Championship, they defeated Santa Fé 3-0 and secured a place in the state knockout stage.

Probable lineup and absences

To face Juventude, coach Guilherme Nascimento will have two absences due to suspension. Goalkeeper Gustavo Milani and right-back Brenno Augusto will not be available for the match in Rio Grande do Sul.

Given those absences, Corinthians are expected to take the field with the following likely lineup: Rafael Alencar (Matheus Alemão), Kevin Fernando, Lucas Lopes, Ronaldo Henrique and Wendel; Ji-Paraná, Lucas Splichal and Léo Amistá; Matheus Rocha, Léo Rodrigues and Kayque Dallaqua.

Officials

Jonathan Giovanella Vivian will be the referee for Tuesday’s match. The officiating crew will also include Otávio Legramanti and Conrado Bittencourt Berger as assistant referees. Francisco Soares Dias will serve as the fourth official.

Broadcast

The meeting between Juventude and Corinthians is not expected to be broadcast. As the home club, the Rio Grande do Sul side is responsible for airing the match and has not been broadcasting its youth team fixtures this season.

Next match

After facing Juventude in the national tournament, Corinthians will have only a few days before taking the field again. Next Saturday (26), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), the Sons of Terrão host Desportivo Brasil in the Paulista U-17 Championship. The match will be broadcast on Corinthians TV.

Before turning their attention to the state competition, Timãozinho will try to keep the positive run going, continue the fight for the top spots, and move even closer to securing qualification for the Brazilian U-17 knockout stage.
