Palmeiras
Palmeiras, the reigning Brazilian champions, have started the new season confidently. After the first 6 rounds, the team has shown consistent results, with three wins, two draws, and one loss. This balance has allowed Palmeiras to occupy 4th place in the standings, remaining among the main contenders for the top spot.
Approaching the derby against Corinthians, the "Verdão" are in high spirits, inspired by their impressive 4-1 away win over Guarani. The key architect of this success was Raphael Veiga, Palmeiras' playmaker, who registered a hat-trick of assists in this match.
Corinthians
Corinthians enter the derby as the table leaders, showing an impressive form. The team has won six out of seven matches, with their only loss coming away to São Paulo (1-3). In that match, well-known football figures played key roles — Lucas Moura scored a brace, and Oscar added another goal. Big names, right?
A particular focus in the Corinthians squad is Memphis Depay, who recently joined the team after a spell with several European giants. The Dutchman has already made an impact, scoring 7 goals and providing 1 assist in 15 matches.
In their last match, Corinthians faced Novo Horizontino away and scraped a narrow 1-0 victory. This result can be called a sensation, as all statistical indicators, including xG, were in favor of the home team.
