Corinthians seek to extend scoring run v Atlético-MG in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians host Atlético-MG this Sunday (24) at 6:30 p.m. at Neo Química Arena, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship, looking to maintain one of the team’s best attacking spells of the season. Timão head into the match having scored in their last nine games.

The streak was extended last Thursday (21), when Zakaria Labyad found the net in a 1-1 draw against Peñarol at Estádio Campeón del Siglo in the Copa Libertadores group stage. It marks the club’s longest scoring run of 2026.

The run began back in April, in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil against Barra. Since then, Corinthians have scored in every match that followed, including games in the Brasileirão, Libertadores, and Copa do Brasil.

During the streak, the club scored in wins over Barra, Vasco da Gama, Peñarol, and São Paulo, as well as in draws against Santa Fe and Peñarol. Even in defeats to Mirassol and Botafogo, the team still managed to score.

The current mark is Corinthians’ best since the second half of last season. Between August and November 2025, Timão put together a long run of consecutive matches with goals in the Brazilian Championship and Copa do Brasil.

If they score again against Atlético-MG, Corinthians will reach 10 straight matches with at least one goal, extending the club’s best attacking stretch of the season.

Despite the positive run, the attacking unit is still criticized for poor finishing efficiency. After the draw against Peñarol, head coach Fernando Diniz once again spoke about the need for greater accuracy in putting away the chances created by the team.

In addition to trying to keep the scoring streak alive, Sunday’s clash is also important for Corinthians’ position in the Brasileirão table. The club currently sits in 17th place, with 18 points from 16 rounds, and is trying to move out of the relegation zone against the Minas Gerais side.
