Corinthians aim to match Brasileiro U17 winning run after 3 years | OneFootball

Corinthians U-17 takes the field on Wednesday afternoon in search of another positive result in the Brazilian Championship for the age group. The black-and-white side faces Bahia at 3 p.m. at Canindé Stadium in the 10th round of the national competition. If they secure all three points, the team led by Guilherme Nascimento will reach a winning streak they have not recorded in about three years.

Timãozinho is enjoying one of its best moments of the season. The team comes into the match riding three consecutive wins in the Brasileirão U-17. The run began on July 7, when they beat Palmeiras 3-1 at Fazendinha. In the following round, on July 15, they defeated Vasco 3-0 at Nivaldo Pereira Stadium. Wrapping up the streak, they thrashed Internacional 4-0 at Parque São Jorge on July 21.

If they win again this Wednesday, Corinthians will claim a fourth straight victory in the competition, something that has not happened since the transition between the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Brasileirão U-17.

The last time the club reached that mark began in the final round of the 2022 Brasileirão U-17. On September 29 of that year, Timãozinho beat Chapecoense 5-2 at CT da Água Amarela. Despite the emphatic win, the result was not enough to prevent the team’s elimination in the opening stage of the tournament.

At the time, the squad was coached by Guilherme Dalla Déa, currently in charge of Brazil’s U-15 national team, and featured players who later reached the senior team, such as Gabriel Moscardo, Breno Bidon, Wesley, and goalkeeper Felipe Longo.

In the 2023 edition of the championship, the positive run continued. Corinthians opened with a 1-0 win over Botafogo on July 5 at Arena Botafogo. Among the starters in that match was André Luiz, who is now part of the club’s senior squad.

A few days later, Timãozinho beat Internacional 3-1 at Fazendinha and sealed the run of four consecutive victories by thrashing Atlético-MG 7-1 on July 19, once again at Parque São Jorge. In that match, Gui Negão, who is also currently with the senior squad, found the net.

Besides the chance to match the historic streak, Corinthians remains firmly in the race for the top spots in the standings. The team currently sits second in the Brasileirão U-17 with 19 points. The leader is Fluminense, with 23 points, and they have already played this round, drawing 0-0 with Atlético-MG.
