Palmeiras has a slight advantadge in head-to-head statistics, with 117 wins against 116 from São Paulo and other 115 drawn matches, making for a balanced encounter. In Campeonato Brasileiro Série A matches, Palmeiras has a larger advantage with 28 wins, while São Paulo won 17, and other 33 matches ended in a draw.[4]
