Last year, the teams faced each other only once, also in the category’s Brasileirão, and Palmeiras came out on top 3-2. On that occasion, both teams took the field with alternative lineups, since both were involved in the Andaluzia Tournament in Spain, in which Timão was eliminated by Barcelona on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regular time.

According to figures from Meu Timão, since 2017, there have been 14 matches between Corinthians and Palmeiras, with four Corinthians wins, one draw, and nine losses — 17 goals scored and 26 conceded. Alvinegro will now remain focused on the national tournament. That is because next Wednesday (15), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), Timão will visit Vasco da Gama at Nivaldo Pereira Stadium (RJ) for the eighth round of the competition.
