The match will be decided in a single game. Novorizontino plays as the host due to having a better campaign in the competition. If the match ends in a draw in the 90 minutes, the decision will be made through a penalty shootout.
The final will be played in home and away games, scheduled for March 4 and 8. The team with the best campaign among the finalists will play the second match at home.
The current champion, Corinthians, is in good form and arrives motivated for the clash. Dorival Júnior's team has suffered only one defeat in the last eight matches, along with five wins and two draws. Timão secured its spot in the semi by eliminating Portuguesa on penalties last Sunday.
Novorizontino has the best campaign in the State Championship. The team from the interior of São Paulo has six wins, one draw, and two losses in the tournament. The Tiger defeated Santos in the quarter-finals, comes from a thrashing over Nacional-AM in the Copa do Brasil, and is trying to return to the Paulistão final after 36 years.
Corinthians has the upper hand in the overall history between the teams. Timão has won 16 of the 30 matches played. Additionally, there have been seven wins for Novorizontino and seven draws.
The recent record is also favorable to the club from São Paulo's capital. In the last 11 games, there are eight wins for the Alvinegro, against only two for the Tiger, and one draw.
