São Paulo x Palmeiras is one of the games that mark the beginning of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and the teams face each other to try to get ahead in the fight for the spot.
Sao Paulo x palm trees is the confrontation that marks the first game of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil for the two teams from São Paulo. The match, despite being a competition that only counts as knockout stages, brings with it a baggage that goes beyond this confrontation and that can directly impact the performance of both teams.
In addition to the tensions that already involve a knockout match, the two teams will take to the field after having faced each other this Monday, 20, also at Morumbi Stadium. The confrontation, which was valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão, ended 2-1 for the visitors, who were losing the game until the 45th minute of the second half.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
To spice things up even more, the last time the teams faced off in a round-trip playoff, the Sao Paulo started in front with a 3-1 victory at home, but ended up being surprised and was defeated by palm trees at Allianz Parque by 4 to 0, seeing the rival lift the Paulistão cup.
In 2021, the teams also faced each other in two knockout stages. First, Tricolor Paulista won the Campeonato Paulista on top of the rival and returned to lift a cup after almost 10 years. However, Palmeiras got the change in the quarter-finals of Libertadores, when they eliminated Soberano, winning 3-0 at home after a 1-1 draw in the first game.
Despite the recent record being very bad for São Paulo, the team has a very favorable history against the rival in knockout games and now it clings to that to try to get ahead in search of a spot in the next phase. This will be the 20th match between the teams in a tie and, in general, Tricolor has 14 classifications/titles against only five of Verdão.
