Palmeiras continues to show its strength in the title race for the Brazilian Championship. After a 1-0 win over Athletico Paranaense at Allianz Parque in the 12th round, Verdão remained at the top of the table and improved its record against G6 teams.
So far, the team coached by Abel Ferreira has faced four of the six members of the current G6 and won every match, achieving a 100% record in these direct clashes.
Palmeiras 1 x 0 Athletico — Allianz Parque
Palmeiras 2 x 1 Fluminense — Arena Barueri
São Paulo 0 x 1 Palmeiras — MorumBIS
Bahia 1 x 2 Palmeiras — Arena Fonte Nova
With these results, Verdão has four wins in four matches against direct rivals, with 12 points won out of a possible 12.
The only matchup yet to take place is against Flamengo, currently in second place. Even so, the team's performances so far reinforce the consistency of the green-and-white side in high-level matches, something different from 2025.
Beyond the numbers, Palmeiras has shown defensive solidity and attacking efficiency in these direct clashes — key traits for a team chasing the national title.
After staying at the top of the table, Palmeiras returns to the field this Thursday (23) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) against Jacuipense in the Copa do Brasil at Allianz Parque.
