Yuri Alberto aims to end Corinthians goalless run v São Paulo | OneFootball

Forward Yuri Alberto is looking to find the net again for Corinthians in the derby against São Paulo Futebol Clube, scheduled for this Sunday (10) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena, in the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The No. 9 has not scored since April 9, when he netted one of the goals in the 2-0 win over Club Atlético Platense in Corinthians’ debut in the Conmebol Libertadores group stage. Since then, the striker has gone eight matches without scoring.

If he goes scoreless again, Yuri Alberto will match one of his longest scoring droughts in a Corinthians shirt. On two previous occasions, the forward went nine straight matches without finding the net, once in 2024 and again in 2025.

The player’s longest goal drought for Corinthians came in 2023, when he went ten consecutive matches without scoring.

Besides trying to end the streak, Yuri Alberto could also improve his record in derbies. São Paulo is one of the teams against which the striker usually performs well. In 11 matches against the rival, the No. 9 has scored four goals.

In the ranking of opponents he has scored against the most for Corinthians, Santos tops the list, having conceded seven goals. Atlético-GO and Internacional come next, both with six goals conceded. São Paulo sits in fourth place.

Yuri Alberto’s previous droughts

In 2024, the forward went nine matches without scoring between June and July. The run began after the 2-2 draw against São Paulo on June 16 and ended in another 2-2 draw, this time against Grêmio, on July 25.

In the 2025 season, Yuri went through a similar spell again. His last goal before that streak came in the win over Novorizontino in the Copa do Brasil on May 24. The striker only found the net again on September 28, in the loss to Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship.

Corinthians’ situation in the Brasileirão

Corinthians go into the match sitting in 17th place in the Brazilian Championship, with 15 points, opening the relegation zone.

A win in the Majestoso could help the black-and-white side climb important spots in the table. São Paulo, meanwhile, begins the round in fourth place with 24 points.
