Palmeiras vs SantosPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Copa do Brasil quarter-finals bring Palmeiras and Santos together in a classic of Sao Paulo state football. Palmeiras arrive on a 4-1 win over Vasco da Gama after a 2-3 away defeat to Fluminense, in a run that also includes two wins and two draws across their last five. Santos have drawn their last two games, 1-1 with Mirassol and 0-0 with Macara, after winning the two before that against Vasco da Gama and Macara themselves. Across the five most recent meetings Palmeiras hold the edge with three wins to Santos' one, the Santos win coming in November 2025, a 1-0 result. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
