Palmeiras visits Corinthians at Neo Química Arena for the Copa do Brasil

Palmeiras and Corinthians star in the fifth Derby of the season this Wednesday (30), at Neo Química Arena, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil at 9:30 pm (Brasília time)

The Arena do Timão hosts the match for the second time this year, and the last match at the stadium brings back bad memories for Palmeiras fans. Even so, the recent record between the teams is even.

The last match between Corinthians and Palmeiras in Itaquera was the second leg of the 2025 Campeonato Paulista final, and it ended in a goalless draw. Even so, the result crowned Corinthians champions thanks to their 1-0 victory at Allianz Parque in the first leg.

However, after that, the teams faced each other in the Brasileirão in April, at the Alviverde stadium. Abel Ferreira's team prevailed, defeating Alvinegro 2-0, with goals scored by Píquerez and Martínez.

The first Derby of the year took place in the group stage of the Paulistão, also at Allianz Parque, and ended in a 1-1 draw. The balance in recent clashes was also seen in the 2024 season, and three games played between the teams resulted in a Palmeiras victory, a draw, and a Corinthians triumph.

The return leg is scheduled for August 6, 2025, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque. Palmeiras has the advantage of deciding the quarterfinal spot in front of its home crowd, and the winner of the match, who advances to the next round, will pay approximately R$4.74 million. The prize for the 2025 Copa do Brasil champion will be over R$101 million.
