This is the Paulista Derby, rated one of the greatest classic football rivalries in the world. The teams Corinthians and Palmeiras are both from São Paulo, the most populous city in Brazil. There is no love between these teams or their fans, meeting for more than a hundred years with endless episodes of chaos and drama. Expect more of the same in this one.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
The hosts Palmeiras saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Paulista A1. Thankfully the previous game, versus Santos, was also a home game here at Allianz Parque. The away team is better rested.
Palmeiras form and stats
When playing at home in the Paulista A1, Palmeiras have managed 5 wins, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. Palmeiras haven’t lost a league-game in 14 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Fortaleza, 117 days ago.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Palmeiras, as their goalkeeper Weverton Pereira da Silva has completely shut out the opponents for 684 minutes in the Paulista A1.
A nice win for Palmeiras last time playing, versus Santos. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Veiga scoring for the victors.
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting São Paulo.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Palmeiras have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost four.
The manager Ferreira will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bragantino in only three days.
A decent goal production from Palmeiras in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches.
Corinthians form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Paulista A1.
The regulars enjoyed Corinthians's previous fixture versus Ponte Preta, a 5-0 win played at home.
Prior to that match, the Corinthians manager Pereira faced defeat when travelling to São Paulo and losing 0-1.Corinthians are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
The schedule is very tough for Corinthians now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Paulista A1 game at Novorizontino is waiting in only three days.
Corinthians have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings involving these contenders: Palmeiras won three, Corinthians were winners in two and we saw five draws. three games with more than 2,5 goals, seven matches with under 2,5 goals. The games between these teams have had a tendency to be a bit wild, having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten encounters.Palmeiras missing players
