Palmeiras may play record games away from Allianz since it opened | OneFootball

Palmeiras is expected to face an unusual scenario at the start of the season and is already preparing for a long sequence away from its main home. The club may play up to nine games outside Allianz Parque, a number that, if confirmed, will match or surpass the record for matches played away from the stadium since its inauguration in 2014.

The Palmeiras home is undergoing a process of replacing the synthetic turf with a new surface, with the completion of the works expected by the end of February and the beginning of March. As a result, Verdão will miss the entire Campeonato Paulista and some rounds of the Brasileirão.

A historical survey shows how this reality has varied over the seasons:

The most striking data is from 2024, when Palmeiras already had to play nine times away from Allianz, the highest number since the stadium's inauguration. Now, the start of the new season may repeat — or even expand — this scenario, reinforcing the feeling that Verdão will spend a considerable period away from its main advantage as a host.

Historically, Palmeiras performs better when playing at Allianz Parque, both in terms of numbers and the pressure exerted by the fans. Playing away, even while maintaining home advantage in other stadiums, usually requires logistical, technical, and emotional adaptations from the team.
