The classic has gained importance due to the situation of the teams. Santos is in 14th place in the Brasileirão, with only one win in five rounds. Corinthians dropped in the standings after losing at home to Coritiba with a performance well below expectations.

In last year's match, Flávio Rodrigues de Souza showed a firm hand and handed out 8 yellow cards during the game. There were five bookings for Corinthians and three for Santos.
