It’s Brasileirão-2026 Saturday for São Paulo and Palmeiras.

And it counts for the eighth round of the competition. 

SporTV and Premiere will broadcast the match.

São Paulo 🇾🇪

Tricolor lost the lead in the Brasileirão in the last round after being beaten by São Paulo.

They have the same 16 points as their upcoming rival. But with a lower goal difference (six versus eight).

Roger Machado once again has Lucas Ramon available, who had been rested.

But lost Lucas Moura, who suffered two fractured ribs in Belo Horizonte.

The Tricolor’s mission is to end an 11-game winless streak against Palmeiras.

There have been seven losses—five in a row—and four draws. 

This stretch had only one bright spot: the 2024 Supercopa do Brasil title, which came after a penalty shootout win over Palmeiras. 

Palmeiras 🟢⚪

There was a chance of changes on both flanks.

But Giay remains among the starting eleven. Piquerez returns to the starting lineup.

Vitor Roque remains an option for later in the game. He’s still not 100% fit.

Paulinho is still in the process of regaining his fitness.
