Unbeaten in derbies

Palmeiras extended its unbeaten run against Santos this season. In three meetings between the teams in 2026, Verdão has two wins and one draw, with all matches played at home. The first victory was 1-0 in the Campeonato Paulista, followed by a draw in the Brazilian Championship. Now, in the Copa do Brasil, Palmeiras imposed itself once again and won 3-0, building a big advantage in the tie.

Once again, Verdão showed the strength of a squad that is increasingly seasoned and prepared for decisive matches. The advantage built in the first clash puts Palmeiras in a comfortable position to chase qualification, but the decision will be at Vila Belmiro, where Santos will have the backing of its fans and should count on the presence of its star player, Neymar.
