Corinthians face Palmeiras again this Saturday in another Derby this season, this time in the third round of the Women’s Copa do Brasil. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. at Nubank Parque, marking the Brabas’ debut in the 2026 edition of the national competition.

In last year’s campaign, the black-and-white side reached the quarterfinals. Timão eliminated Cruzeiro on penalties and then beat Juventude in regular time before being knocked out by São Paulo.

Besides making their tournament debut, Corinthians are also aiming for their first win over their rival in 2026. In the first derby of the year, in the Supercopa do Brasil, the teams drew 1-1 in regular time, but Palmeiras came out on top 5-4 in the shootout. In the most recent meeting, for the Brazilian Championship, the Brabas were beaten 3-2 after surrendering the lead.

Probable lineup

As this is a single-leg knockout tie, the tendency is for head coach Emily Lima to field her strongest lineup. Corinthians’ likely starting XI is: Lelê; Ivana Fuso, Thaís Ferreira, Erika and Tamires (Juliete); Ana Vitória, Duda Sampaio and Andressa Alves; Belén Aquino, Jaqueline and Gabi Zanotti.

Even so, the coaching staff is still dealing with some physical issues in the squad. Goalkeeper Rillary remains out due to discomfort in her right elbow. Center-back Agustina is still undergoing treatment for pain in her left leg, while right-back Gi Fernandes is recovering from a muscle strain in the right glute area.

On the other hand, Corinthians reported that center-back Thaís Regina and defensive midfielder Juliana Passari have returned to training normally after time in the medical department. Despite the progress, neither is expected to be included in the squad for the derby.

Refereeing

Daiane Muniz will be the referee for the match. She will be assisted by Leandra Aires Cossette and Veridiana Contiliani Bisco on the sidelines, while Leonardo Delfino de Abreu Lima will serve as the fourth official. There will be no VAR for the match.

Broadcast

The derby will be broadcast exclusively on SporTV, Grupo Globo’s pay-TV channel. After the final whistle, Central do Timão will follow all the fallout from the Derby directly from the stadium.

Next match

After the Derby, the Brabas only have one more match scheduled for July. With the exact date still unconfirmed, Corinthians will host Ferroviária at Fazendinha in the fourth round of the Paulista Women’s Championship. The tentative date for the match is the week of July 17.
