Corinthians will welcome Palmeiras to Corinthians Arena in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday. The visitors are second in the league standings with 42 points, four fewer than Flamengo. Timão have six wins from 21 games and are 11th in the standings with 25 points.

Corinthians vs Palmeiras Prediction

Timão have won their last two games, though both wins have been registered on their travels. They are winless in their last five Serie A home games, scoring just three goals, and will look to improve upon that record. Notably, they are unbeaten in their last five home games in this fixture.

Alviverde have lost two of their last 12 games in all competitions, with both defeats registered against the hosts in the Copa do Brasil. They have failed to score in their last four away games in this fixture, which is a cause for concern.

The visitors have a good recent record in the league, while Timão have enjoyed good home form against the visitors. With that in mind and considering their current history, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.

Prediction: Corinthians 1-1 Palmeiras
