Corinthians duo preview São Paulo showdown in Brasileirão Feminino final | OneFootball

Corinthians host São Paulo on Saturday in the first leg of the Brasileirão Feminino final, a rematch of 2024, which the Brabas won 5-1 on aggregate.

According to Meu Timao, Andressa Alves, absent from last year’s decider, says this final feels different. She praised São Paulo and underlined the demands of a two-legged tie, stressing preparation and humility are vital.

Tamires highlighted the merits of both sides, noting Corinthians likely have the league’s most potent attack and São Paulo the meanest defence. She expects 180 minutes decided by details and composure, and urged strong backing in the return.

Looking to the second leg, she said home support helps but the team aim to win anywhere while respecting São Paulo. She added she has never decided a final there.

Andressa would have preferred to finish at home, yet stressed the focus is Saturday’s opener. She said the first game can bring confidence or pressure, so preparation must be the same home or away.

Corinthians will be without defender Thaís Regina for the first leg after her red card against Bahia in the semi-final second leg. Tamires lamented the loss but is confident the squad have cover in that position.

The title will be decided over two weekends. The first leg kicks off at 16:30 on Saturday at Neo Química Arena, with the return on Saturday 3 October at the same time at Morumbis.
