The historic regional rivalry between Santos and Corinthians will be renewed this weekend when both sides meet at Corinthians Arena on Sunday in the 34th match for each team in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.
It has been over 10 years since Peixe have beaten Timao away from home, in what is known as the Classico Alvinegro, as Santos have failed to score in the last two matches played against the club from Tatuape.
We say: Corinthians 1-0 Santos
These rivals always have extra motivation when playing one another, and Corinthians will be hungry to climb into fifth place, currently only two points behind Bragantino for that position which guarantees you a place in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores next year.

Two sides who are virtually dead even in every statistical category in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A this year will face each other for the final time in this domestic campaign when America Mineiro head to the Maracana on Sunday to battle Fluminense.
The club from Rio de Janeiro were shut down by Juventude earlier this week, losing 3-1, but they remain ahead of America thanks to having one more win than them as Flu are currently in eighth.
We say: Fluminense 1-1 America Mineiro
These teams are neck and neck in the table, having each allowed the same number of goals (34), while America have scored just a few more (35 to 31).

Bahia will look to give their survival hopes a much-needed boost on Sunday, when they play host to Cuiaba.
With six games left to play, the hosts sit 17th in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table, three points adrift of safety, while their visitors are six points better off in 12th place.
We say: Bahia 1-1 Cuiaba
While Bahia are in a slump and the visitors will be boosted by a win last time out, the hosts will know they need a result on Sunday, and we back them to stand strong for a point.
