Corinthians have lost only once to São Paulo at the Arena | OneFootball

The first Majestoso of 2026 is approaching. This Sunday, Corinthians and São Paulo will face each other at 4 PM (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena, for the second round of the Campeonato Paulista. Despite struggling in recent matches at home, Timão clings to a significant statistic: the Alvinegro has lost only once to Tricolor in nearly 12 years at the Arena.

Of the last 22 classics between Corinthians and São Paulo, 21 were held at the Neo Química Arena. The record is entirely in favor of the home team: 12 victories for Timão, eight draws, and one win for Tricolor. In 2018, a Majestoso ended 2-1 for Alvinegro, held at Pacaembu, for that year's Paulistão.

Breaking the Taboo

São Paulo went ten years without a single victory at the Neo Química Arena. The breaking of the famous taboo occurred in January 2024, when, for that year's Paulistão, Tricolor defeated Corinthians 2-1, ending the long streak without a win at the new Corinthians home.

Recent Record

In the latest games at the Neo Química Arena, Corinthians still holds the upper hand but has drawn many times. There are four Alvinegro victories, five draws, in addition to the Tricolor victory mentioned above.

In the last Majestoso at the Arena, Corinthians came out on top. With two goals from Yuri Alberto and one from Memphis Depay, Timão defeated São Paulo 3-1 in a match valid for the Campeonato Brasileiro.
