Corinthians vs Palmeiras Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts are coming in with a one-goal advantage from the first leg.

Corinthians are all set to host Palmeiras in the second leg of the Brazilian Campeonato Paulista 2025 Final. The Verdao fell to Timao in the first leg despite being the better side as far as statistics are concerned. But because of their loose defence, Palmeiras conceded a goal in the second half. Now they will have to make a comeback here.

Corinthians will be at home for the second leg. They are already ahead by a goal coming from the first leg. They will have more chances of winning the title than the visitors. Corinthians will have to defend hard and not concede any goals. They will also be looking to score a goal or two to increase their advantage.

Palmeiras lost the first leg despite having the advantage of the home ground. It is going to be a tough battle for them to make a comeback here. They have to score multiple goals to ensure their victory. Verdao have only been able to win one of their last five matches against Corinthians, hence, it lowers their chances of winning.
