Corinthians vs Santos: Match Preview, Prediction, Team News and Lineups
Corinthians and Santos will renew one of Brazilian football's traditional rivalries when they meet in the latest edition of the Clássico Alvinegro at the Neo Química Arena.
The two sides will face each other on Sunday, August 30, in Gameweek 25 of the 2026 Brasileirão Série A, with both teams looking for an important victory as they approach the latter stages of the campaign.
Corinthians currently occupy 10th place in the league table, having collected 32 points from 24 matches. Their record is evenly balanced, with eight wins, eight draws and eight defeats. They have scored 26 goals so far while conceding 24.
Santos enter the derby in 14th position with 26 points from 23 games. They have recorded six victories, eight draws and nine defeats, scoring 33 goals but conceding 36 in the process.
The standings suggest Corinthians have enjoyed the more consistent campaign, although the recent history between the two clubs indicates that this could be a closely fought encounter.
The reverse fixture earlier this year ended in a 1-1 draw. Gabriel Barbosa gave Santos the lead before Memphis Depay restored parity for Corinthians.
That result continued a run of tight contests between the rivals, with their previous two meetings also ending in draws. Neither side has been able to establish clear dominance in recent encounters, adding further intrigue ahead of Sunday's clash.
Playing at home could give Corinthians an additional advantage, but Santos will be determined to improve their position in the standings and claim bragging rights in one of Brazil's most anticipated fixtures.
With both clubs separated by only six points in the table, the Clássico Alvinegro promises to be another competitive battle, with Corinthians seeking to strengthen their position in the top half and Santos hoping to climb away from the lower reaches of the standings.
