Corinthians Women aim to extend edge over Ferroviária | OneFootball

Corinthians host Ferroviária on Friday night (24) at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in a derby for the eighth round of the first phase of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship. At the moment, the Brabas sit at the top of the national competition with 16 points — five wins, one draw, and one loss — with 18 goals scored and seven conceded.

In the match, Corinthians will look to improve their historical record against the team from Araraquara since the women’s team was reactivated in 2016. Since then, the two sides have featured in several major finals, such as the Conmebol Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship, and are two of the biggest benchmarks in women’s football. Altogether, there have been 40 matches between them, with 29 wins for the Brabas, 10 draws, and one loss — 86 goals scored and 22 conceded.

Their win rate is 80.83%. Ferrinha’s only victory over Corinthians in the history of the women’s game came in August 2022 in the first phase of that year’s Campeonato Paulista, when they won 2-1 at Estádio Nogueirão. At the time, Timão were coached by Arthur Elias. Considering matches at Fazendinha, there have been five wins for the Brabas and two draws — 16 goals scored and four conceded.

Emily Lima’s squad will also be aiming to go three straight matches without conceding a goal for the first time since November 2025, meaning it would be a first this year. At the moment, the Brabas have not been breached in their last two games: the 8-0 win over América-MEX in the third-place match of the 2026 Teal Rising Cup in the United States, and last Monday (20), the 1-0 away win over Juventude in the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

As mentioned, at the end of last year, Corinthians, still coached by Lucas Piccinato at the time, went three games in a row without conceding: goalless draws against Ferroviária and Palmeiras, and a 3-0 win over Realidade Jovem. All of those matches were in the qualification phase of the Campeonato Paulista Feminino.

It is worth noting that Alvinegro lead the Brazilian Women’s Championship with 16 points earned — five wins, one draw, and one loss — with 18 goals scored and seven conceded. Of those victories in the national competition, four came in the last four matches: América-MG (H - 4 x 0), Botafogo (A - 1 x 3), RB Bragantino (H - 5 x 1), and Juventude (A – 0 x 1).
