On Tuesday night (21), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians visit Barra, from Santa Catarina, at Ressacada, for their Copa do Brasil debut, in a match valid for the fifth round of the tournament. It is worth remembering that Alvinegro has won the competition four times (1995, 2002, 2009 and 2025) and is the reigning champion, having beaten Vasco da Gama at the Maracanã in last year’s final.
In tonight’s clash, the club from Parque São Jorge will look to improve its record at the stadium hosting the match. Throughout history, Corinthians have only one win, four draws and three losses at Ressacada, with all of those matches having come against Avaí, the venue’s home team. The only victory came in August 2015, when Alvinegro won 2-1 in comeback fashion, with two goals from forward Luciano, now at São Paulo.

Corinthians’ first match at the venue took place in August 2008, in Série B of the Brasileirão. On that occasion, they drew 1-1 with Avaí. After that, they suffered three straight defeats: in November 2009, they were beaten 3-1; in August 2010 and July 2011, they lost 3-2. In the last three times they played at Ressacada, they drew their matches: 0-0 in July 2017 and 1-1 in August 2019 and 2022. In total, they have scored 10 goals and conceded 13 – a 29.1% success rate.
