Palmeiras returns to the field for the Brazilian Championship this Monday, against Sport, at Allianz Parque. The green team seeks victory to improve their performance against the opponent on their home turf.

Since the inauguration of Allianz Parque in 2014, Verdão has hosted Leão da Ilha six times. In total, there are three victories for Palmeiras, two for Sport, and one draw. The home team's success rate is 55.5%.

Sport was actually Palmeiras' first opponent in their new stadium and was an unwelcome visitor from the start. In the 35th round of the 2014 Brasileirão, the team from Pernambuco defeated the home team 2-0, with goals from Ananias and Patric.

After the duel, Verdão achieved two home victories over Sport, in the 2016 and 2017 Brazilian Championships. However, in 2018, they were defeated again by the rival at Allianz, 3-2, in the seventh round of the national league.

Palmeiras faced Leão again in 2020 and continued to have a tough time. Still led by Vanderlei Luxemburgo, the Green team drew 2-2 with the rival. In 2021, the last time they faced the opponent at Allianz, they won 2-1.

Palmeiras' position in the standings

Abel Ferreira's team is in second place in the Brasileirão, with 39 points, four less than the leader Flamengo. The match against Sport, valid for the 21st round, is scheduled for 7 PM (Brasília time).
