Corinthians vs Sao Paulo Prediction and Betting Tips | November 20th 2025

The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Corinthians and Sao Paulo square off at the Neo Quimica Arena on Thursday. Dorival Junior’s men will head into the game looking to get one over visitors Sao Paulo, having failed to win their last seven meetings since August 2023.

Corinthians suffered a fresh blow in their push for Copa Sudamericana qualification last time out when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Ceara on November 9.

This came after their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Red Bull Bragantino on November 5, a result which saw Junior’s side’s run of three consecutive victories come to an end.

Corinthians have picked up 42 points from their 33 Serie A matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, only behind 13th-placed Ceara and 12th-placed Vasco da Gama, who sit in the final Sudamericana qualifying spot on goal difference.

Elsewhere, Sao Paulo were sent crashing back to earth in their quest for a Copa Libertadores spot as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat against Red Bull Bragantino last time out.

Prior to that, Hernan Crespo’s men were on a three-game unbeaten run in the league, picking up consecutive victories over Bahia and Vasco da Gama before playing out a 2-2 draw with Flamengo on November 6.

Sao Paulo have picked up 45 points from their 33 Serie A matches so far to sit ninth in the league table, nine points off the second Libertadores playoff spot.
