This will be the 342nd edition of the Derby Paulista. Overall, Palmeiras prevails, with 123 wins, 103 draws, and 115 wins for Corinthians. However, when Corinthians is the home team, they have more wins, 79, while Palestra has 40.
In the previous stage of the Copa do Brasil, Corinthians eliminated Novorizontino, winning both matches 1-0. However, the team led by Dorival Júnior has not been playing great football, with only one win in the last nine games.
Meanwhile, Palmeiras advanced past Ceará in the final round with a 4-0 aggregate victory. Abel Ferreira’s team is on a roll, beating Grêmio 1-0 in the last round of the Brasileirão, with a goal by Facundo Torres. The team has won three of its last three matches and is unbeaten since the return leg of the Club World Cup.
Even so, Alviverde has not won at Neo Química Arena since 2022 and intends to take advantage of the opponent’s poor form to win again at its rival’s home.
For the duel, Timão will have the return of the trio Garro, Memphis and Yuri Alberto, who have not played together since the second leg of the Campeonato Paulista final, against Palmeiras, at the end of March.
While full-back Hugo and midfielder Maycon remain out injured, coach Abel Ferreira is counting on Felipe Anderson’s return for the match. However, Paulinho, Murilo, and Bruno Rodrigues are still injured.
