Palmeiras seek to end Derby curse, chase fifth Copa do Brasil mark | OneFootball

Palmeiras takes the field this Sunday to face Corinthians in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena. With only one victory in the six derbies played against their rivals this year, Verdão is trying to achieve a milestone in the national tournament that they have already reached four other times.

In 2025, Verdão has won only one Derby: the first round of the Brasileirão, which took place at Arena Barueri in April. Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez scored the goals for Palmeiras. If they manage to beat Corinthians again this Sunday, they could defeat their rivals in both rounds for the fifth time in the Brasileirão since the points system was introduced.

The other times Palmeiras beat Corinthians in both rounds of the league were in 2007 (0-1 and 1-0), 2016 (1-0 and 0-2), 2020 (0-2 and 4-0), and 2022 (3-0 and 0-1). Meanwhile, Alvinegro has only achieved this feat twice: in 2012 (2-1 and 0-2) and 2017 (0-2 and 3-2).

Palmeiras takes the field defending an eight-game unbeaten streak in the Brasileirão. The last time Palmeiras lost in the competition was in June, against Cruzeiro, before the Club World Cup in the United States. Since then, they have had six wins and two draws.
