The XV de Piracicaba reaches the final of the 2025 Copa Paulista confident in their ability to bounce back. After losing the first leg by 1-0 to Primavera in Campinas, the team is betting on their home strength and positive track record of winning by two-goal margins to pursue the title this Saturday at the Barão de Serra Negra stadium.
Having had a better campaign throughout the competition, XV has the advantage of deciding the final on their home ground. The Piracicaba team has shown consistency as hosts and demonstrated they know how to handle pressure situations — especially in decisive matches.
The recent history gives reasons for optimism: throughout the Copa Paulista, XV won four matches by two-goal margins (three at home), a result that would be enough to secure the title without the need for penalties. Interestingly, one of these victories was against Primavera, their final rival.
These results reinforce the team's offensive efficiency and defensive solidity, especially in matches at the Barão, where the team usually imposes an intense pace and takes advantage of the crowd's support.
Despite the loss in the first leg, XV arrives motivated by the opportunity to win the trophy in front of their fans. Primavera, on the other hand, defends their advantage and relies on the defensive consistency that brought them to the final. The expectation is for a full house and an atmosphere of decision in Piracicaba, with the title being decided in the details.
