Corinthians wrap up preparations to face São Bernardo | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Saturday (14th), Corinthians held their final training session at CT Doutor Joaquim Grava in preparation to face São Bernardo in the last round of the qualifying phase of the 2026 Campeonato Paulista this Sunday (15th) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).

The activity began indoors with the athletes working out in the gym, as well as watching videos about this Sunday’s opponent. Out on the pitch, a tactical drill was conducted with a 10 vs 10 match-up and an exercise focusing on offensive and defensive set pieces.

With preparations complete and possibly still without the return of midfielders Breno Bidon and André Luiz, in addition to the absence of the suspended Matheus Pereira, a likely Corinthians lineup to be fielded by Dorival Jr is:Hugo Souza; Pedro Milans, André Ramalho, João Pedro Tchoca and Matheus Bidu; Charles, Carrillo, Dieguinho and Garro; Vitinho and Gui Negão

It’s worth remembering that Corinthians are not yet mathematically guaranteed qualification, needing at least a draw to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the State Championship. Depending on the combination of results in this round, they could face either a classic rival or a theoretically easier opponent. If the standings remain as they are now, Corinthians, currently in fifth place with 11 points, would face fourth-placed Portuguesa away from home, since Lusa has 12 points.
