The year 2025 was filled with Derbys between Corinthians and Palmeiras. Opponents this Sunday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, the teams will face each other for the seventh time in the season, the second in history with the most confrontations between Timão and Verdão.
The season with the most Paulista Derbys was 1999. That year, Corinthians and Palmeiras faced each other eight times, in matches valid for the Brazilian Championship, Paulista Championship, and Copa Libertadores. The Alviverde came out on top, achieving four victories against three from the Alvinegro.

The Paulista Championship of 2025 reserved three great Derbys between Corinthians and Palmeiras. In the first phase, a 1-1 draw at Allianz Parque, with a bitter taste for the Alviverde, who saw Hugo Souza save a penalty from Estêvão in stoppage time.
