Palmeiras aim to stay unbeaten against São Paulo at rivals’ ground | OneFootball

The classic match between São Paulo and Palmeiras, this Sunday (5), at 4pm, at Morumbis, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, brings another chapter of rivalry to the field, marked by the green and white dominance in recent seasons.

With the ball rolling, Palmeiras doesn't know what it's like to lose to the tricolor rival since the Brazil Cup of 2023, when it was defeated in the quarterfinals. Since then, there have been eight meetings between the clubs, with four victories for the Verdão and four draws — the only defeat in this period occurred on penalties, in the Brazil Supercup of 2024, after a draw in regular time.

The sequence reinforces the solidity of Abel Ferreira's team in classics, especially against São Paulo, an opponent that was a thorn in the team's side in previous seasons. On the other side, the rival sees the duel as a chance to break the taboo and recover within the Brazilian Championship.

The game promises a full house and a decisive atmosphere. São Paulo bets on the Morumbis factor to stop the Palmeiras series, while Verdão enters the field determined to extend its unbeaten run and stay firm in the fight for the top positions in the championship.

And now?

With fewer games compared to the opponents, the team currently occupies the second place, with 52 points, behind Flamengo, with 54, and ahead of Cruzeiro, with 50. Cariocas, who will finish the round with one more game compared to Palmeiras, and Mineiros, with two more games, face each other this Thursday (2), at Maracanã.

Verdão returns to the field for the Brazilian Championship next Sunday (5) against São Paulo, at Morumbis, for the 27th round of the national competition. The ball rolls at 4pm (Brasília time).
