Corinthians under-20s v Santos: watch, line-ups, injuries, ref | OneFootball

On the night of this Thursday (15), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will face Santos FC at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in Parque São Jorge, in a match valid for the sixth round of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. With the round partially completed, Timãozinho currently sits in eighth place with five points — two wins, two draws, and one loss — with 10 goals scored and five conceded. If they earn all three points, the Corinthians side will end the round in fifth place.

It is worth remembering that exactly the top eight teams advance to the knockout stage of the national tournament. Os Filhos do Terrão, despite their promising start, are coming off two matches without a win in the competition, with one draw and one defeat. On April 1, Alvinegro was beaten at home 1-0 by Fortaleza. Then, last Tuesday (7), they visited Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium and drew 1-1, conceding a goal late in the game.
