Palmeiras have 3rd-best record after 13 Brasileirão games, stats | OneFootball

Ending the 13th round comfortably at the top, thanks to the win over Red Bull Bragantino and a six-point lead over second place, confirmed Palmeiras’ more than positive run in the Brazilian Championship.

As if their cushion at the top of the table were not enough, Verdão’s campaign deserves another major highlight: it is the third best since the Brasileirão began being played with 20 clubs in the round-robin format, in 2006.

Only Corinthians, in 2017, and Botafogo, in 2023, finished the 13th round with a better points tally. See the best campaigns:

From this top 5, only Corinthians in 2017 won the title. Botafogo in 2023, another team above Verdão in 2026, lost the title precisely to the São Paulo club after a collapse in the final stretch.

Palmeiras have a 82.05% success rate in the Brasileirão – with 32 points won out of a possible 39.

Now they must try to repeat Corinthians’ story and confirm the Brazilian title with a (long) way still left in the championship. There are still 25 rounds to go and, therefore, 75 points up for grabs.

If they manage to maintain their current 82% rate of points won, Palmeiras would finish the Brazilian Championship with 93 points, something unprecedented in Brasileirão history.

The best Brasileirão campaigns in the 20-club round-robin era since 2006 are dominated by Flamengo in 2019, the record-holder with 90 points, followed by Atlético-MG in 2021 (84 points).
