Against Bragantino, Corinthians look to turn around poor recent form | OneFootball

In their first away match of the season, Corinthians face Red Bull Bragantino in the second round of the Campeonato Paulista. Looking for their second win in the competition, Timão will try to defy their recent negative record against the team from Bragança. The two teams will take the field this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Estádio Municipal Cícero de Souza Marques.

Since the partnership with Red Bull began in March 2019, Bragantino has been a tough opponent for Corinthians. During this period, there have been 19 matches, with nine wins for Massa Bruta, four draws, and six victories for Timão.

Even with only a 38% success rate in this period, Corinthians have good numbers in the Campeonato Paulista against Bragantino. In the same period, the two teams have faced each other five times in the State Championship, with three wins for Corinthians, one draw, and one victory for Bragantino.

In Search of the Second Win

After defeating Ponte Preta by 3-0 in their Campeonato Paulista debut, Corinthians are looking for their second victory in the State Championship. Timão started off in second place in the Campeonato Paulista, with three points, behind São Bernardo on goal difference. With the new format of the State Championship, which is now a round-robin, the top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals.

The most successful club in the Campeonato Paulista, with 31 titles, Timão are also the current holders of the State Championship. In 2025, Corinthians, then coached by Ramón Díaz, beat rivals Palmeiras in the final and ended a six-year title drought.
