Palmeiras are enjoying a strong start to the Brazilian Championship, with a 79% success rate after eight rounds. That figure is already higher than the ones recorded in the title-winning campaigns of 2022 and 2023, when Abel Ferreira’s team claimed their most recent national trophies.
At the moment, Verdão sit alone at the top of the Brasileirão standings, with 19 points, three more than second-placed São Paulo. So far, the green-and-white side have won six matches, drawn one, and lost one. Before the break for the FIFA international window, they beat Tricolor 1-0 at Morumbis.
At the same stage, in 2022 — the year Abel Ferreira won his first Brasileirão title in charge of Palmeiras — the club also led the competition with 15 points. They had four wins, three draws, and one loss. In 2023, also a title-winning season, the club had 16 points and were in second place after eight matches.
Verdão’s current spell this season is similar to what they had in 2025. In the eighth round, the team were also top of the table with the same 19 points, and had the same 79% success rate. Although they did not win the title, the green-and-white side stayed in the fight with Flamengo until the final round and finished with 76 points in second place.
This season, Palmeiras are defending their unbeaten home record and looking to extend that run after the FIFA international break. The green-and-white side returned after three days off last Wednesday and began preparations for the match against Grêmio.
