Corinthians have lost to Palmeiras just once since Memphis arrived | OneFootball

Corinthians faces Palmeiras this Sunday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. In addition to seeking three points, Timão is defending its excellent record against the rival since the arrival of Memphis Depay.

After the Dutchman was announced by Corinthians, there have been eight derbies between the teams. Timão won four matches and suffered only one defeat, along with three draws.

During this period, the clubs also saw their roles reversed. Since Memphis landed at the rival, the alviverde team has not won any more titles. Meanwhile, the team from Parque São Jorge has lifted three trophies: the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, the 2025 Copa do Brasil, and this year’s Supercopa do Brasil.

Decisive Goal

Memphis Depay has only participated in one goal against Palmeiras. That goal, however, was decisive. He found the net in the first leg between the teams in the round of 16 of the last edition of the Copa do Brasil.

On that occasion, Corinthians won the Derby 1-0 in Itaquera. In the return leg, Timão beat the rival again, this time at Allianz Parque, 2-0, and secured a spot in the next phase of the tournament.
