Corinthians aim to close the gap in overall derby record against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Corinthians and Palmeiras meet again on the evening of this Sunday, August 31, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão 2025. It's the seventh time the Derby is taking place this season, counting Paulistão, Copa do Brasil, and the current championship. The ball rolls at Neo Química Arena, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).

Despite the different season, which saw Timão historically taking the lead by winning the Paulistão and eliminating the rival in the Copa do Brasil, the record still favors the Barra Funda club. In the 386 editions of the Derby, the People's Team came out victorious in 133, while Palmeiras won 136. The draws total 117.

The numbers are even worse when it comes to Brasileirão. There were 71 clashes in history, with Palmeiras having won 28 of these, against only 19 for Corinthians. The teams also drew 24 times in total.

As mentioned, this will be the seventh meeting between the teams this season, which has brought Corinthians even closer in the overall record. There were three for the Paulistão, one for the Brasileirão, and two for the Copa do Brasil. The three black and white victories were divided into two for the knockout tournament and one for the state championship. In the national championship, the only defeat in the classic of the season occurred.

After defeating Vasco da Gama and Athletico-PR away from home, on both occasions, Corinthians arrives confident to face the rival at home. The expectation is for a full house to watch the last Derby of 2025.
