Corinthians and São Paulo face off in the Majestoso derby this Thursday, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 34th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
Corinthians comes into the derby with their confidence somewhat shaken after a run of two consecutive defeats. Timão was on a positive streak, but couldn’t put an end to their inconsistency and suffered losses to Red Bull Bragantino (away) and Ceará (at home).
This negative streak also prevented Corinthians from dreaming of bigger goals in the Brasileirão. At the moment, the Alvinegro sits in 13th place on the table, with 42 points. The Corinthians team is closer to the relegation zone (seven points away) than to the Libertadores qualification zone (nine points away).
São Paulo slipped up again in the last two rounds of the Campeonato Brasileiro and saw their Libertadores spot move one point further away. The Tricolor paulista dropped to ninth place, with 45 points – six points behind Fluminense, who are currently seventh.
Coach Hernán Crespo’s squad has been inconsistent recently, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in the last five rounds. The São Paulo team hasn’t won in two games, coming off a draw against Flamengo and a defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, both as the home side.
The history of the Majestoso shows a slight advantage for Corinthians. According to data from the Ogol platform, which specializes in statistics, the two teams have faced each other 318 times, with 113 wins for Timão against 100 victories for Tricolor paulista, along with 105 draws.
Recently, however, São Paulo has dominated. In the last ten encounters, Tricolor has come out on top in six, with only one draw and two wins for Corinthians.
The last meeting between the teams further reinforces Tricolor’s dominance. São Paulo beat Corinthians 2-0 on July 16, at Morumbis, in the 15th round of the Brasileirão. Luciano was decisive, scoring both goals for the home side in the Majestoso.

Corinthians and São Paulo have similar numbers this season. Even the top scorers of each team (Yuri Alberto and Luciano) have nearly the same goal tally. While Timão’s number 9 has scored 16 goals, Tricolor’s number 10 has found the net 15 times.
Corinthians are looking to regain their home strength after losing to Ceará in the last round of the Brasileirão. Known for their strength at Neo Química Arena, the Alvinegro has been underperforming in this regard. In the current edition of the tournament, the team has seven wins, four draws, and five losses at home, totaling a 52.08% success rate. They have scored 21 goals and conceded 14.
On the other hand, São Paulo is the ninth-best away team in the Campeonato Brasileiro, with four wins, five draws, and seven losses, totaling a 35.42% success rate, with 15 goals scored and 20 conceded. However, their recent record is poor, as Tricolor has won only two of their last ten away games across all competitions.
On the Corinthians side, coach Dorival Júnior had Memphis Depay back in training this Wednesday, but kept the starting lineup for the Majestoso under wraps. What is certain is that Timão will have five guaranteed reinforcements: midfielders Carrillo, Martínez, and Charles, who served suspensions against Ceará, as well as defensive midfielder André Luiz and forward Vitinho, both recovered from their respective injuries.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Hugo Souza, midfielder Maycon, and forward Memphis Depay are doubts. The goalkeeper is recovering from a left thigh injury, while the midfielder has been complaining of pain in his right knee. The Dutchman, meanwhile, may start on the bench due to the fatigue caused by the European Qualifiers. Meanwhile, midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who is suspended, and defensive midfielder Raniele, who is in the medical department, are confirmed absences.
On the other side, São Paulo will have a long list of absences for the Majestoso. The club’s medical department has gained two more members in recent days: forward Lucas Moura, with pain in his right knee, defender Arboleda, with a muscle injury in the back of his left thigh, and full-back Enzo Díaz, who underwent inguinal hernia surgery.
Coach Hernán Crespo will also be without the injured Marcos Antônio, Wendell, André Silva, Calleri, Luan, Ryan Francisco, Dinenno, and Rodriguinho. Oscar, recovering from vasovagal syncope, is also a confirmed absence. Meanwhile, players called up by their national teams (Tapia, Bobadilla, and Ferraresi) are doubts.
On the other hand, São Paulo should have the return of defensive midfielder Pablo Maia, who has recovered from a tendon injury in his right foot. He has trained normally in recent days and should reinforce Tricolor.
