Palmeiras are set to host Chapecoense at Allianz Parque this Sunday in a Brasileiro Série A clash. The two teams find themselves at opposite ends of the standings, with Palmeiras aiming to solidify their position at the top, while Chapecoense seek to turn their season around.
Palmeiras vs Chapecoense Preview
Thanks for the submission!
Palmeiras enter the match on a positive note, having secured back-to-back victories following a brief winless spell. After 17 rounds in the current campaign, they have accumulated 11 wins and five draws, suffering just one defeat. They lead the table with 38 points, holding a seven-point advantage over Flamengo, who have a game in hand.
The Alviverde are eager to reclaim the championship podium after their last triumph in 2023. In the previous season, they narrowly missed the title by three points to Flamengo, who claimed their eighth championship. Palmeiras have started the 2026 season strongly, establishing a comfortable lead at the top, and are determined to maintain this momentum.
In contrast, Chapecoense are struggling at the bottom of the table. They have had a tough start, with only one win in 16 matches, alongside six draws and nine losses, leaving them with just nine points. This puts them six points adrift of the second-lowest team.
The Verdao earned promotion to Serie A after finishing third in Série B last season, but they appear unprepared for the top division’s challenges. They will aim to repeat their 2017 success at Allianz Parque, where they defeated Palmeiras 2-0.
