The classic match between Santos and Corinthians will take place on Wednesday
Santos begins the round at the top of the Paulista Championship overall standings with 12 points. In a good start to the season, the Pixies won four out of five games, having the best offense and second best defence. The team is eight points ahead of Ituano, second in Group A. The victory may guarantee a place in the next stage, something that has not happened since 2020.
Corinth is in the opposite position. The team is coming off four straight defeats and is in Paulistão's relegation zone, sitting in penultimate place in the general classification. The bad moment culminated in the dismissal of coach Mano Menezes last Monday. Thus, assistant Thiago Kosloski will lead the team in the classic match.

Santos – Coach: Fabio Carril
The coach maintained the team's base in Paulistau. Only makes changes when necessary, such as injury or physical wear and tear. Peixe is tipped to take the field with the same lineup that faced Guarani – with the exception of striker Julio Forche, who survived with pain in his right adductor muscle.
Giuliano, who is recovering from a muscle injury in his left calf, is still out of action. Among the other absences is left-back Keveson, who suffered two injuries to his left knee against Guarani, and will need to undergo surgery.

Corinthians – Coach: Thiago Kosloski
