Portuguesa aim to end seven-year drought against Ponte Preta | OneFootball

For the seventh round of the 2026 Paulistão, Portuguesa hosts Ponte Preta this Saturday at Canindé, at 4pm (Brasília time). To secure their fourth victory in the State Championship, Lusa will try to break a seven-year winless streak against the team from Campinas.

Portuguesa’s last victory over Macaca happened in 2015, when they won 3-2 in the Paulistão, with a goal scored in stoppage time of the second half. Despite the positive result, Lusa ended up being relegated in that edition of the State Championship.

Since then, the teams have faced each other only twice. Portuguesa has one 2-0 defeat and one goalless draw, in the 2024 and 2025 Paulistão tournaments, respectively.
