The black-and-white side’s campaign includes two wins, one draw, and one defeat, as well as ten goals scored and four conceded. Palmeiras are right behind, also with seven points, but trail on tiebreak criteria. With a win, Timão could take over the lead in the competition, depending on the other results of the round.

The last meeting between Corinthians and Palmeiras took place on May 30, in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Copa do Brasil. On that occasion, Timão won 1-0 at Allianz Parque, with a goal from Gabi Zanotti, securing qualification for the next stage of the competition.
