Duda Sampaio eyes Majestoso as Corinthians face São Paulo in Brasileiro Feminino final | OneFootball

Corinthians host São Paulo in the Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino final at Neo Química Arena at 16:30 on Saturday, with Duda Sampaio urging focus on the next step after a mixed derby record.

According to Meu Timao, Corinthians advanced by beating Bahia 1-0 in Itaquera. This latest showpiece arrives amid a run of deciders against Paulista opposition.

Sampaio said classics feel natural given the strength of football in São Paulo state, while noting other regions are also growing. She added the priority is to leave past chapters behind and concentrate on what comes next.

In derbies this year, Corinthians have played eight, winning three, drawing two and losing three, a 45.83 percent return. They scored 13 and conceded 11, and finished runners-up in February’s Supercopa do Brasil to Palmeiras.

She said what has gone is gone, and that the team approach this differently. Sampaio believes Emily offers a different influence and said she is sure they are now better prepared than before.

Two years after beating São Paulo in a final, she stressed the context is different, from Corinthians’ style to the opponent’s strong year. With the return leg to be played away, she underlined the need to maximise home advantage first.

Sampaio added they will stay 100 percent focused across the tie, respecting the opponent while prioritising their own work. After the finals, she will link up with Brazil before the Copa Libertadores Feminina.
