📋 Corinthians field a mixed side in bid to reach Paulista final | OneFootball

Corinthians returns to the field this Saturday (28), when they visit Novorizontino at the Jorge Ismael de Biasi Stadium, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), for the semifinal of the Paulistão 2026.

The winner will face Palmeiras or São Paulo, who play against each other this Sunday (1), at Arena Barueri.

Unlike the semi, the finals will be played in a home-and-away format.

The team with the most titles in the tournament, with 31 championships, five more than their biggest rival, Timão seeks to lift the trophy again, as they did in 2025.

As has been happening since the start of the season, coach Dorival Júnior has been rotating the alvinegro squad.

Thus, compared to the last game (1-1 with Cruzeiro, in the Brasileirão), only goalkeeper Hugo Souza and midfielders Raniele and Breno Bidon were kept among the starters.
