Corinthians vs Palmeiras prediction, preview, team news and more | Brasileiro Serie A 2021
Corinthians host Palmeiras at the Neo Quimica Arena in Brazil's Serie A on Sunday, with both teams having solid seasons so far.
Corinthians are currently sixth in the league and are unbeaten in their last seven top flight games. Sylvinho's side have, however, drawn their last three games and will be looking to get back to winning ways against Palmeiras on Sunday.
Palmeiras have faltered of late. Despite being second in the table, Abel Fereira's side have only won two of their last five games across all competitions.
The Verdao will be going into the game off the back of a 0-0 draw against Atletico Mineiro in the Copa Libertadores last time out. They will look to bounce back with a win against Corinthians on Sunday.
HOJE É DIA DE CORINTHIANS, É DIA DE DERBY! VAI PRA CIMA, TIMÃO!!!!
