Palmeiras v Novorizontino: dates and venues for the Paulista final | OneFootball

The grand final of the Campeonato Paulista is set. Novorizontino and Palmeiras will compete for the State Championship title this week.

The dates for the home and away matches have been previously confirmed by the Federação Paulista de Futebol (FPF). The matches are scheduled for the upcoming 4th and 8th of March, Wednesday and Sunday.

Novorizontino will have the advantage of playing the second leg of the final at home. The Tigre do Vale had a better campaign than Palmeiras and remains at the top of the overall standings. Thus, they earned the right to decide at home.

Thus, the first leg of the final will be hosted by Palmeiras and is expected to take place at Arena Barueri, in Barueri (SP). It is still uncertain if the Allianz will be ready in time to host the match. The second leg, on the other hand, is expected to be held at Estádio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biasi, home of Novorizontino, in Novo Horizonte (SP).

The times and other details of the final matches will still be defined by the FPF and the clubs in a technical meeting to be held this Monday.

It is worth remembering that, in case of a tie in the aggregate score at the end of the two matches, the champion will be decided by penalties.

The Road to the Final

Novorizontino was the first finalist of the Campeonato Paulista. With the best campaign in the first phase, the Tigre do Vale defeated Santos in the quarter-finals and, last Saturday, eliminated the current champion Corinthians.
