São Paulo look to claim first win over Palmeiras this year | OneFootball

São Paulo hosts Palmeiras at Morumbis next Saturday at 9 PM (Brasília time) for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. The game is for the leadership of the competition, as both teams are tied with 16 points.

To reclaim the top of the table, the Tricolor will need to break a taboo against the Alviverde. The Morumbi team has not won any matches against Verdão in 2026.

The Encounters

The teams have faced each other twice this year, both times in the Paulista Championship. In the first match, during the fifth round, Palmeiras defeated São Paulo 3-1 at Arena Barueri, with goals scored by Khellven, Flaco López, and Maurício. Bobadilla scored for the Tricolor.

In the second match, valid for the semifinals of the competition, also at Arena Barueri, despite a goal scored by Calleri, the São Paulo team was defeated again, with goals from Flaco and Maurício.

Trump Card

Now, São Paulo, playing for the first time this year against the Alviverde at home, is betting on the strength in front of its fans to change the recent record. The expectation is that the stadium will be full for the duel: the club announced this Thursday that more than 40,000 tickets have already been sold.
