Corinthians Women eye history to end mini hoodoo v São Paulo Sunday | OneFootball

This Sunday, the 24th, Corinthians begins its journey in the semifinals of the Brazilian Women's Championship. The duel against São Paulo starts with an away match at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu at 10:30 am (Brasília time). The Brabas are the current champions of the competition and are fighting for their seventh title – their sixth consecutive one, since they won the tournament in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

However, to achieve this, the Timão will need to recover from an uncomfortable streak against their opponents. This is because Corinthians has not won any of the last four games against São Paulo in women's football – a streak that had not happened since 1997. The last alvinegra victory in a Majestoso occurred on November 3, 2024, in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship, when the Brabas won 1-0 at Canindé.

Still, the overall numbers are favorable to Corinthians in the classic, which is one of the most traditional in Brazilian football. The first game between the teams, which took place in the Paulista Championship, was won by São Paulo 2-1, which also has the advantage in the direct confrontation between 1997 and 2001: four victories for the rivals against only one for Corinthians, with the Alvinegro scoring nine goals and conceding 17 in total.

On the other hand, since 2019, the numbers have been much more favorable to the Brabas. In the last six seasons, the teams have met 22 times, with 13 victories for Corinthians, four draws, and only five victories for the rivals. In this period, the Timão scored 36 goals and conceded 22.

In total, therefore, the teams have played 27 times, with 14 alvinegra victories, four draws, and nine defeats, and with the Alvinegro scoring 45 goals and conceding 39 in total. This record does not include friendlies and training games and covers, in total, five title disputes, with four won by Corinthians (Paulista Championship in 2019, 2021, and 2023, and Brazilian Championship in 2024) and one by the rivals (Supercopa do Brasil in 2025)
