How is São Paulo coming into the match?

The Tricolor Paulista comes into the derby relieved after beating Fortaleza 2-0 at Castelão, with goals from Tápia and Luciano, last Thursday, in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The victory in Ceará ended a streak of four consecutive defeats.

With the win, São Paulo reached 38 points and occupies eighth place in the table. Now, the team led by Crespo is focusing all its attention on the Brasileirão, having been eliminated from the Copa do Brasil in the round of 16 by Athletico-PR, and knocked out in the Libertadores quarterfinals by LDU, after two defeats.

Despite the positive result against Leão do Pici, the Morumbis team still owes a response to its fans, and the Choque-Rei is the perfect opportunity to regain confidence.

Far from the title race, São Paulo is aiming for a more realistic goal: a direct spot in the 2026 Libertadores. To achieve this, they need to finish the championship among the top six. Currently, Bahia holds the last G6 spot with 40 points, two more than the São Paulo team.

How is Palmeiras coming into the match?

Palmeiras gave a quick response after seeing its 11-game unbeaten streak broken this season. In the 26th round of the Brasileirão, coach Abel Ferreira’s team defeated Vasco 3-0, settling the match by the 23rd minute of the first half, with goals from Flaco López (twice) and Vitor Roque.

The home victory put Palmeiras in second place in the Brasileirão, with 52 points. The round was also positive for Verdão due to the draw between Flamengo and Cruzeiro last Thursday. Thus, Verdão has one more point than Raposa, with two games in hand over the Minas Gerais team, and three points fewer than Rubro-Negro. Compared to the Rio team, Alviverde has one game in hand.

Against São Paulo, Palmeiras continues its chase for the leader, defending an eight-game unbeaten run against Tricolor.

Head-to-head history between São Paulo and Palmeiras

Palmeiras and São Paulo play out one of the great classics in Brazil. The Choque-Rei of the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship will be the 324th in the clubs’ history. The teams differ on the numbers, but according to the site Ogol, specialized in statistics, there have been 109 Palmeiras wins, 110 São Paulo wins, and 104 draws.

In recent history, Palmeiras has the upper hand and has not lost to its rival in eight matches. There have been four wins and four draws. During this period, the teams have played heated matches, with titles or qualification on the line. Tricolor won the 2024 Supercopa do Brasil on penalties, while Verdão knocked out their rival in this year’s Paulista semifinal.

In the last meeting between the teams, Palmeiras came out on top, 1-0, in a match valid for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. Vitor Roque scored the Palmeiras goal at Arena Barueri. São Paulo’s last win was in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Copa do Brasil, 2-1, at Allianz Parque.

Statistics

São Paulo started the Brazilian Championship with difficulties and even fought against relegation, but has been recovering under Hernán Crespo. In the last round, the team got a boost after being eliminated from the Libertadores and beat Fortaleza 2-0, with one man down, at Castelão. The goals were scored by Tapia and Luciano.

With this, Tricolor ended its goal drought, which had lasted four games, and saw Luciano score again after 13 matches. The São Paulo team is in a delicate moment in attack, having lost its strikers Calleri, Ryan Francisco, and André Silva to injury.

Abel Ferreira’s team is in second place, with 52 points, three fewer than leaders Flamengo, who have played one more game.

The Alviverde team has the second best attack, alongside Cruzeiro, with 39 goals scored. In addition, they also share second place in the best defense ranking with Raposa, with 19 goals conceded, behind only Flamengo, with 12.

Probable lineups

Coach Hernán Crespo lost forward Rigoni, who was sent off in the match against Fortaleza in the last round, adding another name to the long list of absentees. Lucas Moura, rested at Castelão, strengthens Tricolor in the derby. Defender Arboleda, who served a suspension in the last round, is available again and should start.

On the other hand, coach Abel Ferreira should not have major problems to field his team, as he has no new absentees compared to the last round, when they beat Vasco.

Without Evangelista, the latest absentee, Abel chose to keep the same tactical scheme, moved Andreas Pereira back, and brought in Raphael Veiga. The coach even praised the number 23 and may repeat the lineup.

Probable São Paulo lineup

São Paulo: Rafael; Arboleda, Alan Franco, and Sabino; Cédric Soares, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Lucas Moura, and Wendell; Tápia and Luciano. Coach: Hernán Crespo

Probable Palmeiras lineup

Palmeiras: Weverton; Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Andreas Pereira, Aníbal Moreno, Raphael Veiga (Mauricio), and Felipe Anderson; Flaco López and Vitor Roque. Coach: Abel Ferreira
