Palmeiras on longest away drought against Corinthians since 2020 | OneFootball

Palmeiras visits Corinthians on Sunday night for the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. The team led by coach Abel Ferreira does not have fond memories in recent encounters and has gone six games without a win against their rivals at the Neo Química Arena.

During this period, there have been four draws and two losses, including an elimination match in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and the final of the Campeonato Paulista, both won by their rivals. Palmeiras’ last victory at their opponent’s stadium was in August 2022: 1-0 in the 22nd round of that season’s Brasileirão.

This winless streak is the club’s longest since 2020. On that occasion, Palmeiras went four games without beating Corinthians. There were two losses (in the 2018 Brasileirão and the 2020 Paulista) and two draws (in the 2019 Brasileirão and the 2020 Paulista).

Palmeiras has not beaten Corinthians in three games. There have been three losses and one draw. Verdão’s last victory was in the third round of the 2025 Brasileirão, when they won 2-0 at Arena Crefisa Barueri, with goals from Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez.

Abel Ferreira’s team heads into the derby looking to build a positive streak in the competition. Palmeiras eased the pressure caused by instability this season with a 5-1 win over Vitória, but also sees the derby as carrying extra weight.

Palmeiras’ Situation

In the Paulistão, Palmeiras is currently the runner-up with 12 points. In the Brasileirão, they have four points and also occupy second place, behind Red Bull Bragantino, who have six. So far this season, they have five wins, two losses, and one draw.
