In 2024, Fluminense once again got the better of Palmeiras in both matches. First, they won 1-0 at the Maracanã and then repeated the score away from home.

The 2025 season featured a 2-1 Tricolor defeat at the Maracanã and a goalless draw in São Paulo. In 2026, each team won once: Palmeiras claimed a 2-1 victory at Arena Barueri, while Fluminense responded with a 3-2 win at the Maracanã.
