Corinthians boss Ponte Preta, just one loss at Itaquera

By Vinícios Cotrim | Central do Timão Editorial Team

Ponte Preta is one of the most historic opponents in clashes against Corinthians. However, the People’s Team holds a wide advantage in the overall record between the teams, which becomes evident in matches played at the Neo Química Arena. The stadium will host the encounter this Sunday (11), starting at 4pm (Brasília time).

Overall, the matchup has already occurred 153 times since their first meeting. Corinthians has 83 victories, having been defeated on only 32 occasions. The draw is the second most common result in history, with 35 times that the teams each took home a point.

As mentioned, this record extends to Corinthians’ performance at the Neo Química Arena in matches against Macaca. There have only been ten games in this matchup, with Corinthians winning eight, losing just one, and drawing another.

The defeat happened in 2024, with a 1-0 win for Ponte Preta, in a Paulistão where Corinthians failed to qualify for the knockout stage of the state championship. The draw occurred in 2017, in the grand final of the championship, when the People’s Team lifted the trophy after winning the first leg at Moisés Lucarelli by 3-0.

The last encounter took place at Estádio Moisés Lucarelli, home of Ponte Preta, and ended with a 1-0 victory for Corinthians. The teams did not face each other for the rest of the season, as the Campinas club was in Série C and was eliminated in the first phase of the Copa do Brasil.
