Palmeiras face the side who ended their unbeaten run in the first round | OneFootball

Palmeiras returns to the field this Sunday (28th), at 4 PM (Brasília time) to face Bahia, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship, with a special ingredient beyond the battle for three points. The clash marks the reunion of Verdão with the opponent responsible for ending the team's longest unbeaten streak of the season until then.

In the first round, Abel Ferreira's team had accumulated nine matches without defeat until they were overcome by the Bahian team, in a result that interrupted the good phase of the green and white team. Now, Verdão arrives boosted by a sequence of 10 unbeaten games, matching the year's record obtained between the semifinal against Novorizontino and the first final of the Paulista Championship against Corinthians.

If they do not lose to Bahia, Palmeiras will achieve, for the first time in 2025, their longest unbeaten streak of the season, consolidating a moment of confidence amid decisive disputes in the calendar.

Busy Month

The current campaign, by the way, has already made history for the club in another aspect: the number of matches played. With the qualification to the Libertadores semifinal, Verdão reached 57 games in 2025 and has, at least, 18 more ahead. This means the team will have 75 confirmed commitments this year, surpassing the last seasons: 74 matches in 2022, 73 in 2023, and 67 in 2024.

If they advance to the Libertadores final and compete in the Intercontinental, Palmeiras could reach 78 games in 2025. It will be, therefore, the longest season for the club since the pandemic, reflecting the regularity of a team that remains strong in all competitions and keeps the calendar full until the last months of the year.
