Preview: Palmeiras vs. Corinthians - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Monday's Brasileiro clash between Palmeiras and Corinthians, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Another chapter in the storied Paulista Derby between Palmeiras and Corinthians will be written on Monday when the two sides square off at Allianz Parque.

Palestra dropped to fourth in the Brasileiro Serie A table following a 3-0 defeat at Fortaleza, while Timao earned a 1-1 draw with Cuiaba, putting them a point below the relegation line in 18th.

The month of June had been smooth sailing for Abel Ferreira's side before being knocked down a peg this week by Fortaleza.

That was their worst domestic defeat since a 3-0 loss at Flamengo last November, and it has Palmeiras sitting a point behind them for first in the table.

Those three goals conceded on Wednesday are a third of what this team has allowed in the competition this year, with Verdao giving up fewer goals than anyone in the Brasileiro Serie A thus far (nine).

After beginning the domestic campaign on a three-match winless run at home, Palmeiras have reeled off three successive league triumphs at Allianz Parque.

All seven of their Serie A victories so far this season have occurred when they have scored first, while they suffered their three defeats when conceding the opener.

They are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches against Corinthians across all competitions, winning this exact fixture last year by a 2-1 score.

We are a dozen matches into what has been a dismal Serie A campaign for the club from Tatuape, who have only claimed one victory thus far (3-0 over Fluminense).

That has put them in early relegation danger, with a mere nine points, one below Vasco da Gama and top-flight salvation.

Scoring goals has been a trouble spot for them throughout the league campaign, netting the second-fewest domestically among Serie A sides in 2024 (nine).

Todo Poderoso won their final three league contests last season but have been unable to carry that momentum into 2024, claiming just two points from six league fixtures as the visitors.

Antonio Oliveira's men have shown more resiliency of late, though, coming from behind to claim a point in three of their previous four domestic affairs when being behind at the half.

Time do Povo are winless in eight consecutive matches across all competitions versus Palmeiras at Allianz Parque and have not won a Serie A fixture played there since 2017 (2-0).

Team News

Palmeiras may be without Bruno Rodrigues for at least one more match as he is recovering from knee surgery, while Romulo and Lazaro have thigh injuries.

Meanwhile, Rony and Anibal Moreno were each cautioned in their midweek encounter against Fortaleza and will be suspended on Monday.

Two Palestra players are still away on international duty at the Copa America, including captain Gustavo Gomez with Paraguay and Richard Rios with Colombia.

On Monday, Corinthians could be without Pedro Henrique and Fagner due to thigh issues, Carlos Miguel might also be unavailable because of a sore ankle, while Diego Palacios will not return from his knee injury until September at the earliest.

Angel Romero will not play on Monday as he is on international duty for Paraguay, while Felix Torres is with Ecuador at that tournament.

Matheus Bidu scored four minutes before the 90 on Wednesday, enabling his side to collect a single point, his first goal of the 2024 domestic campaign.

Palmeiras possible starting lineup:
Weverton; Rocha, Naves, Murilo; Mayke, Jhon Jhon, Ze Rafael, Piquerez; Veiga, Paulista; Lopez

Corinthians possible starting lineup:
Donelli; Mateuzinho, Caca, Caetano, Hugo; Bidon, Raniele; Garro, Raul, Wesley; Alberto


SM words green background

We say: Palmeiras 1-0 Corinthians

Verdao were not themselves against Fortaleza, but they usually play well after a poor performance, and we believe they will do enough to earn a narrow victory against a Corinthians side struggling in the attacking third.
