In the Brasileirão, Tricolor take on Palmeiras away from home

It's Choque-Rei weekend in the Brasileirão! This Saturday (12), at 6:30 p.m., at Nubank Parque, Tricolor will face Palmeiras in a derby valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Amid the clashes with Boca Juniors (ARG) in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarterfinals, São Paulo will take the field tonight with the mission of confirming its recovery in the national competition: it won its last two matches against Red Bull Bragantino (2-1) and Atlético-MG (2-0).

The São Paulo side sits in 10th place in the Brasileirão, with 33 points from 25 matches.

After the derby, Tricolor will resume the showdown with Boca Juniors next Tuesday (15), at 9:30 p.m., at MorumBIS.

After the 1-0 setback in the first leg in Buenos Aires, São Paulo need to beat the Argentinians by two goals to secure qualification for the semifinal. If they win by one goal, the qualifier will be decided on penalties.
