Palmeiras bank on unbeaten run against São Paulo to regain away form | OneFootball

Palmeiras takes the field this Sunday to face São Paulo in a match of the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game kicks off at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbis. An unwelcome visitor in 2025, Verdão relies on its eight-game unbeaten streak against the rival to regain strength away from home.

This season, Palmeiras is the team with the most victories in the world, with 18 wins in 26 games, tied with Paris Saint-Germain.

Palmeiras is unbeaten against São Paulo since 2021

The team led by coach Abel Ferreira has not lost to São Paulo since 2021. Since then, the teams have faced each other eight times, with four wins and four draws. The streak includes the decision in the 2024 Brazilian Supercup, in which Tricolor prevailed over Verdão on penalties after a goalless draw in regular time.

The record also includes a 5-0 thrashing by Palmeiras over the rival. This match, in fact, marks the beginning of the unbeaten streak. Additionally, Verdão also counts among these eight games a qualification to the final of the Paulista Championship after winning the single match 1-0.

Palmeiras lost a six-game unbeaten streak as a visitor

Until last weekend, Palmeiras had an 11-game unbeaten streak this season, but saw this mark fall apart after being defeated by Bahia, 1-0, at Fonte Nova. This result also ended the team's unbeaten run away from home, which was six games. Verdão's last away defeat was in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 against Corinthians.

Now, the team of Abel Ferreira, which responded quickly and defeated Vasco, 3-0, last Wednesday, tries to start a new streak away from home. To do so, it relies on its unbeaten record against the rival.

São Paulo and Palmeiras are in different phases

São Paulo and Palmeiras are experiencing different phases this season. On one side, Tricolor is fluctuating and recently suffered an elimination in the Libertadores quarter-finals against LDU. Hernán Crespo's team gained some momentum last Wednesday by defeating Fortaleza, 2-0, ending a four-game losing streak.

With this, they are in seventh place, with 38 points, two behind Bahia, which closes the G6.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras managed to advance to the Libertadores semifinals, overcoming River Plate. Abel Ferreira's team recovered after the defeat to Bahia and, in the last round, defeated Vasco, 3-0. The result placed Verdão in second place, with 52 points, three less than Flamengo.
