Corinthians and Palmeiras have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.
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.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie A. That game, against Bragantino, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Palmeiras.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
