Palmeiras get ready to host Corinthians for another action-packed Serie A game here at Arena Barueri.
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.
This is a local derby, usually meaning increased tension and importance.
It's no vacation for neither Palmeiras nor Corinthians as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Corinthians form and stats

It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Portuguesa RJ in their previous outing. The Copa do Brasil fixture ended 1-1.

A quick return to home after this game, as Corinthians are hosting Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores only three days away.
3 goals so far away for Corinthians, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
