Palmeiras welcome Corinthians for another entertaining Serie A fixture here at Allianz Parque.
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.
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.
