Corinthians vs São Paulo Prediction: Clásico Majestoso 365: The Stakes Cannot Be Higher!

Corinthians vs São Paulo: Prediction for the Match on November 21, 2025

The Corinthians take up the gauntlet against São Paulo ahead of the thirty-fourth match week of the Campeonato Serie A at the Neo Quimica Arena. With fewer than our games to round up the season, all teams scramble for points to finish decently in this eleventh hour. As these two São Paulo-based teams clash ahead of the Classico Majestoso, it is expected that both sides play for pride.

The previous clash resulted in a 2-0 victory for Sao Paulo, and while the Corinthians will be looking to even the scales, Sao Paulo will play to retain the prestigious glory.

A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

Over the last five matches, the Paulista-based side has secured three wins, but has lost its most recent two games. Holding similar 1-0 victories against Atletico Mineiro and Vitoria, Timao was bold against Gremio to force a clean sheet from the 2-0 home encounter.

However, the rug was ripped from under them in their away visit to Estadio Cicero do Marques, where they lost 2-1 to Red Bull Bragantino in a difficult contest that saw them concede two red cards. Much did not change in the next game against Ceara, which saw the team trail in a 1-0 loss that persisted from the first half.

The Corinthians have scored thirty-five goals and conceded thirty-eight in thirty-three matches. Their home form has been poor, with only seven wins in sixteen games, which produced four stalemates and five defeats. Timao's efforts this season have kept them rooted in the thirteenth position in the league with eleven wins, nine draws, and thirteen losses.

In a shocking turn of events, São Paulo lost against Red Bull Bragantino’s Massa Bruta last week, in a closely contested 1-0 encounter that infuriated the home fans. Over the past week, fans have become increasingly frustrated and approached the local media to demand compensation for the derby contest.

São Paulo has had quite an interesting season, blooming late to finish in the top ten after thirty-three matchweeks. As previous winners of the Majestic derby, a lot is expected from the players to bury this game and claim their 115th victory. Over the last five games, they have won and lost twice, with one draw in between.

Traveling games are a bitter pill to swallow for Hernan Crespo’s men, who have only won four matches of sixteen games played under foreign clouds. The records show four wins, five stalemates, and seven losses.

In domestic news, the team recently signed a sponsorship deal with Magnum Bank for their sleeve space on their jerseys. Rui Costa, a football executive, recently signed a new contract to stay with the club.

🏁 São Paulo: Lineup

Injury Crisis: Juan Dinneno, Luan Santos, Ryan Francisco, Jonathan Calieri, Rodriguinho, Enzo Diaz, Wendell, Robert Arboleda, and Marcos Antonio are on the bench and will be sidelined due to fitness worries. Oscar is hospitalized, and Pablo Maia, Leandro Mathias, and Andre Silva await a nod from the medical staff to play.

Hernan Crespo has done a fine job with this team - No arguments about that. The first fifteen rounds cast a negative projection for the end of the season, but we have seen the team push through difficult games and injury stints to secure a current ninth-place standing.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Rafael, Sabino-Ferraresi-Franco, Patryck-Gustavo-Alisson-Bobadilla-Maik, Ferrera-Luciano

👤 Head Coach: Hernan Crespo

⛔ Out: Injured-Juan Dinneno, Luan Santos, Ryan Francisco, Jonathan Calieri, Rodriguinho, Oscar, Enzo Diaz, Wendell, Robert Arboleda, Marcos Antonio. Doubtful -Pablo Maia, Leandro Mathias, Andre Silva

🎯 Corinthians vs São Paulo Match Prediction 21 November 2025

Games between the Timao and Sampa are characterized by high-intensity and ferocious 1v1 duels. While it can be argued that Corinthians have an advantage due to São Paulo’s injury crisis, the visitors have proven to be wild cards more than once.

Recent pitch displays between the teams, however, have shown a greater hunger from the Sao Paulo team, who have not lost the last six direct meetings between the sides.

Corinthians will press, and São Paulo will make many tactical adjustments to accommodate the effects of the pressure applied. Regardless, I do not think the Corinthians will defeat São Paulo.

Not today.
