Verdão qualified for the tournament final after defeating São Paulo 2-1 at Arena Crefisa Barueri. The goals were scored by Maurício and Flaco López.
With this, Palmeiras reached their 19th final in the history of the Campeonato Paulista (including editions without semifinals and playoff matches in round-robin editions), making it their seventh in a row (champions in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024, runners-up in 2021 and 2025, and the only club to reach the final stage in every edition since 2020).
Novorizontino, on the other hand, eliminated Corinthians with a 1-0 victory at Estádio Doutor Jorge Ismael de Biasi. With both teams tied on points, Novorizontino will decide the title at home due to goal difference, the first tiebreaker criterion.

Except for midfielder Emiliano Martínez, who is still in physical transition, and forward Paulinho, who followed a training schedule both indoors and on the field, Palmeiras heads into the Campeonato Paulista final with no absences. Therefore, coach Abel Ferreira is expected to field the same team that qualified over São Paulo.
The team is also enjoying a great run at Arena Barueri. They are unbeaten in ten matches at the stadium—nine wins and one draw—including important victories over rivals such as Corinthians, São Paulo, and Santos.
On loan from Palmeiras to Novorizontino, midfielder Rômulo can only play if the release clause specified in the contract is paid. As a result, the Novo Horizonte team has not yet decided whether to make the payment, so the player remains doubtful for this Wednesday’s match in Barueri.
