Head-to-head statistics Palmeiras - Corinthians

What’s driving Palmeiras’ impressive run of form
In their last Série A match on 9 October 2026, Palmeiras beat Bahia 1-0 at home. Despite having 41% possession, the hosts had 26 shots to their opponents' ten, with 11 on target, but scored only once.
Palmeiras are going through a strong run: six wins and four draws from their last ten matches without a single defeat. In their last five games they have won four and drawn one. An average of 1.4 goals scored and just 0.5 conceded per game over those ten matches underlines the solidity of their defence. At home, Palmeiras have won five in a row, which adds to the confidence around their current level of performance. Their league position means they cannot afford to ease off - the title race demands maximum focus until the end of the season.

Corinthians: highly motivated to avoid relegation
In their previous Série A match on 7 October 2026, Corinthians lost 2-1 away to Internacional. The visitors had 72% possession, had 22 shots to Internacional's 17 and won 12 corners to three, but came away with nothing.
Corinthians are under pressure due to their proximity to the relegation zone, which keeps their motivation to avoid the drop high. However, eight defeats in their last ten league matches reflect serious problems at both ends of the pitch: over that same run, they have averaged just 0.8 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per game. In their last five matches they have taken points only once - a draw - with the remaining four ending in defeat, which points to a form crisis right now.

Match Result Prediction
Palmeiras have been excellent at home, winning 10 matches on their own ground this season and five consecutive home games. They concede an average of just 0.64 goals per home match, and in their last 10 home matches that figure drops even further to 0.2. Corinthians, by contrast, have only three away wins this season and concede an average of 1.29 goals on the road. These figures support the trend of Palmeiras winning at home. We're backing a Palmeiras win at odds of 1.59*.
Total Goals Prediction
In 11 consecutive head-to-head meetings between Palmeiras and Corinthians, Total Goals - Under 2.5 has landed every time. The statistics also point towards a low-scoring game: Palmeiras concede just 0.64 goals per match at home, while Corinthians average only 1.07 goals per game away from home. Palmeiras' last 10 home matches have also been characterised by very low scoring against them - just 0.2 goals per game. This all points to a consistent case for Total Goals - Under 2.5 at 1.74*.
Corners Prediction
In 8 of their last 9 home head-to-head meetings, Palmeiras have consistently earned more than 6.5 corners. The trend is consistent and applies specifically to Palmeiras home matches against Corinthians, which adds to its reliability. Given the hosts' strong attacking output at home, the bet on Palmeiras Team Total Corners - Over 6.5 at 1.80* looks justified.
A Risky Bet
Palmeiras have won 10 home matches this season, while Corinthians have lost 6 of their 13 away fixtures. Palmeiras concede very little at home, and Corinthians are inconsistent on the road. Despite the head-to-head trend favouring Corinthians on the handicap, current form and the difference in home and away performance make Palmeiras Handicap (-1.25) at 2.30* a justifiable risk.
The Reliable Bet
In 12 of the last 13 head-to-head matches played at Palmeiras, the total goals have gone over 1.5. Both sides have regularly put together scoring runs, and the average goals scored and conceded point to sufficient potential for at least two goals per game. The bet on Total Goals - Over 1.5 at 1.30* is backed by a consistent trend.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1:0 (15.2%), 2:0 (12.38%) and 1:1 (11.18%). The first option - a narrow home win - has the highest probability of all three, though the gap between first and second is relatively small. All three outcomes point to an expectedly low-scoring and hard-fought match.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
The shape of this match comes down to a difference in defensive reliability: Palmeiras are making almost no mistakes at the back even under the pressure of a title race, while Corinthians are struggling to create chances and have been conceding more than one goal per game regularly in recent rounds. A further argument is the trend - Palmeiras have kept their opponents from scoring in six of their last seven matches, despite the visitors' pressing need to push forward to salvage their season. The main prediction is a Palmeiras win.
