The Choque-Rei is a re-edition of last year's Paulistão semifinal, when Verdão prevailed 1-0 at Allianz Parque, with a penalty goal by Raphael Veiga.

Palmeiras has won the last four games against São Paulo and, in total, is defending an unbeaten streak of ten games. The last defeat for Palmeiras in Choque-Rei happened in the return leg of the 2023 Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, when the Tricolor won 2-1.
