Prediction

  • Corinthians' dream of Libertadores glory came to an end in midweek as they suffered a 3-0 aggregate loss to Flamengo. Their attention now turns to the Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão. In the league, they sit six points adrift of league leaders Palmeiras and will be eager to keep up the pace in order to maintain a title challenge. Their last league outing saw them draw 1-1 away from home with Avai.
  • Palmeiras come into the Paulista derby unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions. Last weekend, they enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Goias, before a historic night on Wednesday evening. Despite finishing the game with nine men, Palmeiras enjoyed a penalty shootout victory over Atletico Mineiro in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals to send them through to the semi-finals. They will now be hoping to extend their lead over Corinthians to nine points with a win here.
