Brasileirão: Corinthians hit longest unbeaten run since 2024 surge | OneFootball

By Lucas Barreiros/Central do Timão Newsroom

Corinthians extended its unbeaten run in the Brazilian Championship after a goalless draw with Athletico-PR on the night of last Thursday (30), in the 21st round of the competition. The result kept Timão unbeaten in its last five matches in the tournament, reaching its longest unbeaten streak since the remarkable surge in the 2024 edition.

In addition to the milestone in the Brasileirão, Alvinegro also preserved a favorable record against the team from Paraná at Neo Química Arena. Furacão still has never beaten Corinthians at the stadium, a taboo that has remained since the inauguration of Alvinegro’s home ground in 2014. It is worth noting that Timão has not lost to the red-and-black side in three years. The team’s last victory came in 2023.

Corinthians’ longest unbeaten streak in the Brasileirão remains the one from the final stretch of 2024, when Timão went ten matches without losing, moving away from the relegation zone and ending the year with a spot in the 2025 Libertadores and qualification for the Copa do Brasil, a tournament in which it later became champion.

Sitting in 9th place in the Brazilian Championship with 29 points, the team coached by Fernando Diniz will need to overcome injury absences to focus on the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 against Internacional, which takes place this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Beira-Rio. With doubts mainly in attack, Timão will play the return leg against Colorado next Thursday at Neo Química Arena.

Meanwhile, in the league, Corinthians will return to the pitch on August 9, Sunday, at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, to face Red Bull Bragantino — sixth place with 31 points, whose round match away to Atlético-MG was postponed due to the Conmebol Sudamericana round-of-16 playoff, as previously mentioned.
