Corinthians Women aim to stay unbeaten and extend lead over Bahia | OneFootball

This Saturday (15), at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, in the 16th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. Historically, this match will be the sixth meeting between the teams since the reactivation of women’s football at Alvinegro in 2016. The record is overwhelmingly in Corinthians’ favor.

The teams have faced each other five times so far, with five wins for the Brabas and, consequently, a 100% success rate. In total, Timão has scored 16 goals in these matchups and conceded three. The last time Corinthians and Bahia met was in August 2025, in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. On that occasion, the Brabas won 2-0 at Pacaembu, in São Paulo, with goals from Duda Sampaio and Erika.

Meetings at different stadiums

The record between Corinthians and Bahia also stands out for the variety of venues. The previous five matches were played at four different stadiums and, with this Saturday’s clash at Arena Fonte Nova, that number will rise to five.

Two meetings were held at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, known as Fazendinha. The first took place in May 2021, when the Brabas won 2-0, with goals from Poli and Jheniffer. Four years later, in May 2025, the teams faced each other again at Parque São Jorge, and Corinthians cruised to a 5-1 win. Ariel Godoi scored once, while Jhonson and Gabi Zanotti each found the net twice.

Pacaembu, Batistão, and Pituaçu hosted one match each. At the São Paulo stadium, in August 2025, Corinthians won 2-0, with goals from Erika and Duda Sampaio. At Pituaçu, in Salvador, the Brabas earned a 5-1 victory, with goals from Duda Sampaio, Tamires, Vic Albuquerque, Jheniffer, and Giovanna Campiolo. At Batistão, Alvinegro won 2-1, with Gi Fernandes and Gabi Zanotti scoring Corinthians’ goals.

Top scorers in the matchup

Gabi Zanotti stands as Corinthians’ top scorer in this matchup, with three goals in four matches. Next are Duda Sampaio and Jhonson, both with two goals in three games. Jheniffer, who is no longer part of the Alvinegro squad, also has two goals, scored in two matches.

Biggest win

Corinthians’ biggest win over Bahia came on May 4, 2025, at Fazendinha. On that occasion, the Brabas won 5-1. Jhonson and Gabi Zanotti scored twice each, while Ariel Godoi completed the scoreline for Alvinegro.

The clash also marked the last meeting between the teams at Parque São Jorge. At the time, Corinthians was still coached by Lucas Piccinato. This time, Emily Lima will be in charge of the Brabas and will face Bahia for the first time as Timão’s head coach.
