Palmeiras heads into the classic against Corinthians, next Sunday (31), buoyed by a phase of great defensive solidity. The team of Abel Ferreira has not conceded goals in the last four games and, if they maintain consistency in the Derby, they can equal the best record of the season: five consecutive matches without being scored against.
The current sequence revives an achievement made in May, when Verdão went undefeated against Ceará, Vasco, Cerro Porteño, São Paulo, and Bolívar. During that period, the defense showed strength even in commitments of different competitions, a factor that is repeated now, highlighting the balance of the team.
The resurgence of defensive consistency carries even more weight because the sector suffered from significant absences throughout the year. Murilo and Bruno Fuchs dealt with physical problems, forcing the coach to find alternatives and adjust the system. Despite the difficulties, the team managed to regain solidity, something that has always been a hallmark of the Abel era.
Another point that favors Palmeiras is the great campaign of the club as a visitor in the 2025 season. Verdão has been more convincing to its fans when playing away from Allianz Parque. Therefore, the performance at Neo Química Arena is not the best recently, even though the Greatest Champion of Brazil is the club that has defeated the rival the most at the stadium.
