Number 10 aims to end longest goal drought for Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians will face Atlético-MG on the night of this Saturday, October 17, at Neo Química Arena, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. At this moment, the Alvinegro occupies 13th place with 33 points (eight wins, nine draws, and 11 losses – 30 goals scored and 35 conceded).

In the duel, forward Memphis Depay, who has been playing for Alvinegro since September 2024, will seek to break his longest goal drought for the club. His last goal came on July 30, in Corinthians' 1-0 victory over Palmeiras at Neo Química Arena, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16.

Since then, there have been seven matches (Fortaleza, Palmeiras – twice –, Athletico-PR – twice – Mirassol, and Santos), without any goals or assists. Of these, three were in the Copa do Brasil and four in the Brazilian Championship. Previously, his longest goal droughts for Corinthians occurred between 03/05/2025 and 04/02/2025 and between 05/10/2025 and 07/23/2025 – there was a break for the Club World Cup in between.

In the first period, Corinthians’ number 10 was decisive in the derbies against Santos and Palmeiras, in the semifinal and final of the Campeonato Paulista, where he provided two assists. In the second drought, he had only one goal involvement: an assist in the 2-1 defeat to Mirassol in the eighth round of the Brasileirão.

Memphis Depay was signed by Corinthians in the transfer window of the second half of 2024 and was a key player in the team’s surge in the last edition of the Brasileirão, which ended with a spot in the preliminary phase of the Conmebol Libertadores – seventh place with 56 points and a spot in the 2025 Copa do Brasil.

In total, he has played 54 matches in the Corinthians shirt (42 as a starter), with 29 wins, 12 draws, and 13 losses – just over 60% success rate, with 15 goals scored and 14 assists. So far, he has won one title: the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, against Palmeiras, with the final held in Itaquera.

In 2025, he has eight goals (second top scorer in the squad) and 10 assists (top provider in the team) in 40 matches.
