Corinthians and Palmeiras face off in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. Kickoff is this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo (SP).
Corinthians regained confidence after ending a nine-match winless run last Thursday. In Diniz’s debut, Timão beat Platense-ARG 2-0 away from home and got off to a strong start in the Libertadores.
However, they also need to get back to winning ways in the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro side has gone seven rounds without a win and has fallen down the table, sitting close to the relegation zone. Corinthians are in 16th place with just 10 points, two more than Chape, who currently open the bottom four.
On the other side, Palmeiras are going through a calm spell. Verdão are coming off a 1-1 draw away to Junior Barranquilla-COL in their Copa Libertadores opener and extended their unbeaten run to six matches.
In the Brazilian Championship, Alviverde are more firmly at the top than ever. Palmeiras have won five straight matches in the competition and took over first place in recent rounds with 25 points, five more than second-placed São Paulo.
Palmeiras hold the edge in the overall history of the derby. According to data from statistics platform Ogol, the teams have faced each other 344 times, with 124 wins for Verdão, 116 victories for Corinthians, and 104 draws.
More recently, however, the Derby has been very balanced. In the last ten meetings between the teams, Corinthians have won four, Palmeiras three, and there have also been three draws. Timão, though, had the upper hand in knockout ties, eliminating their rival from the Copa do Brasil and winning the Campeonato Paulista.
The most recent meeting between the clubs ended in an Alviverde victory. Palmeiras visited Neo Química Arena in the first phase of this year’s Paulista and beat Corinthians 1-0 thanks to a goal from Flaco López.

For the derby, coach Fernando Diniz is expected to remain without Memphis Depay (strain in the anterior muscle of the right thigh), Gui Negão (strain in the back of the right thigh), Kaio César (injury to the hamstring of the right thigh), and Hugo (right knee surgery).
Charles is also expected to miss out, while Pedro Milans and João Pedro Tchoca are doubts. Finally, André Ramalho is suspended and rounds out the list of absences. On the other hand, Timão will have full-back Matheus Bidu and defensive midfielder Allan available again after they served suspensions in the last Brasileirão round.
For Palmeiras, the main doubt ahead of the match is whether Vitor Roque will be available. The forward is recovering from trauma to his left ankle and has not played since March 21. He will be assessed daily to determine whether he will be fit for the derby.
On the other hand, Verdão have four confirmed absences. Arias is suspended due to yellow-card accumulation, Paulinho is still regaining full fitness, Piquerez is recovering from surgery on his right ankle, and Jefté is being treated for a muscle injury in his right thigh. Coach Abel Ferreira, suspended by the STJD and denied a stay of suspension, will also not be on the touchline.
