Palmeiras defend season’s longest unbeaten run in Paulista knockouts | OneFootball

The Palmeiras drew with Guarani last Sunday 1-1 in the last round of the Campeonato Paulista. The result interrupted the team of Abel Ferreira's three-game winning streak but kept their undefeated record intact, which is now the longest of the club this season.

Before the draw with Bugre, Palmeiras had three consecutive victories: against Vitória (5-1), Corinthians (0-1), and Internacional (1-3), the first and last being in the Brazilian league and the other in the Paulista. In total, therefore, there are four games of invincibility: three wins and one draw.

This season, the maximum consecutive victories the club achieved was three. Before the current streak, they had already secured three wins in the first three games of the season, all in the Paulista: Portuguesa (0-1), Santos (1-0), and Mirassol (1-0).

Therefore, Palmeiras enters the quarter-finals looking to extend this streak. Ranked second, Verdão faces Novorizontino in the first knockout game of the 2026 State Championship.
