Santos strong at home vs Corinthians in Paulistão last 16 years | OneFootball

The first Alvinegro Classic of 2026 is approaching. This Thursday, Santos and Corinthians will clash at Vila Belmiro, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista. The Peixe has an excellent record in the State Championship when playing the classic at home: one defeat suffered in the last 16 years.

During this period, there have been 12 classics in the Paulistão with Santos as the host, with seven victories for Santos, four draws, and one victory for Corinthians. Of these 12 matches, three were held outside Vila Belmiro: in 2013, the teams faced each other at Morumbis, while in 2018 and 2019, they played at Pacaembu.

The only victory for Corinthians during this period happened in the 2021 Paulistão. On that occasion, Vila Belmiro hosted the game but did not receive an audience due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the end, Timão won 2-0, with goals from Lucas Piton and Raul Gustavo.
