Corinthians chase first three-game futsal winning run v Umuarama | OneFootball

Corinthians return to the court this Saturday (4), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), to face Umuarama at Ginásio Amário Vieira da Costa, in Paraná, for the 11th round of the National Futsal League (LNF). In addition to trying to climb the table in the national competition, Timão are looking to reach an unprecedented mark in 2026: three consecutive victories.

The team coached by Fernando Malafaia comes into the match on the back of two positive results. Last Saturday (27), they beat Tubarão 3-1 at Ginásio Wlamir Marques, ending a seven-match winless streak in the National League. Then on Tuesday (30), they thrashed Wimpro Guarulhos 5-1, also at home, in a match valid for the Paulista Championship.

If they win again this weekend, Corinthians will achieve their longest winning streak of the season. So far, the team has managed only two consecutive wins, on two occasions. The first came between April 3 and 8, when they beat Magnus 2-0 in the LNF and MRW/Ocian Praia Grande 4-0 in the Paulista Championship. The second streak was built in the most recent rounds, with victories over Tubarão and Wimpro Guarulhos.

The last time Timão managed to surpass the two-straight-wins mark was at the end of the 2025 season. On that occasion, the club put together four consecutive victories between the National League and the Paulista Championship during the decisive stages of the competitions.

In 2026, Corinthians futsal is going through a rebuilding process. The team was assembled with a leaner squad and heavy involvement from players developed in the youth academy, as a result of the club’s cost-cutting policy. Throughout the season, performances have fluctuated, especially in the National League, where Corinthians went seven rounds without a win before the turnaround that began against Tubarão.

In addition to the objective of confirming their recovery, the match could also mean progress in the LNF standings. Corinthians currently sit in 12th place with eight points, and a win could move the team closer to the top spots in the table while also widening the gap from the lower end of the standings.

This Saturday’s clash will be another opportunity for Corinthians to confirm the strong form shown in recent weeks and head into the break in the national season with the longest winning streak recorded by the club’s futsal team in 2026.
