Portuguesa and Corinthians face off in a single match in the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Paulista. The game kicks off this Sunday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Canindé Stadium in São Paulo (SP).
Portuguesa had a better campaign than Corinthians in the first phase of the Paulista, earning the right to host the quarter-finals at home. Lusa finished the 'league phase' in fourth place with 15 points, securing five wins and three losses in eight rounds. They scored 11 goals and conceded seven.
Coach Fabio Matias's team is coming off positive results and hasn't lost in three matches, with victories against Primavera (away), Ponte Preta (home), and Mirassol (away).
On the other hand, Dorival Júnior's Corinthians finished the Paulista's qualifying phase in fifth place with 14 points. Timão accumulated four wins, two draws, and suffered two losses, with 10 goals scored and six conceded.
The São Paulo team is also in good form, with three consecutive victories in both the Brazilian and State championships, against Athletico-PR, São Bernardo, and Red Bull Bragantino.
The overall head-to-head record shows a significant advantage for Corinthians. According to the statistics platform Ogol, the teams have faced each other 230 times, with Timão winning 123 matches against Portuguesa's 55 victories, along with 52 draws.
The most recent encounters, however, have been more balanced. In the last ten meetings, there have been five draws, with four wins for Corinthians and just one for Portuguesa.
The last match between Corinthians and Portuguesa ended in a 2-2 draw, hosted by Lusa at Canindé, during the first phase of the 2025 Paulista. Jajá and Maceió scored for the home team, while Matheus Bidu and Talles Magno equalized for the visitors.

As the home team, Portuguesa is expected to field their strongest lineup for the quarter-final against Corinthians. Coach Fabio Matias has no absences and should deploy his best squad in pursuit of a semi-final spot.
On the other side, Corinthians approaches the match with some uncertainties. Coach Dorival Júnior fielded the full starting lineup in the match against Athletico-PR for the Brazilian Championship and may make some changes to reduce the wear on key players, as they return to the field again on Wednesday.
Breno Bidon, in the final phase of physical transition, might be a new addition to the Timão squad, but he is initially considered doubtful. The team is also expected to be without Hugo, Yuri Alberto, and Kaio César, all in the medical department, and Angileri, who is undergoing physical reconditioning.
