Choque-Rei, which translates in English to the Kings' Clash, is considered the third-oldest derby in Brazil, and on Wednesday, these two bitter foes play each other in another significantly important match for both teams.
The title aspirations of Palmeiras took a hit over the weekend as Abel Ferreira saw his side's seven-match unbeaten run come to an end, losing to Flu for the first time since 2019.
Usually, when Verdao go into half time ahead, it is curtains for the opposition, but on Sunday, they allowed two goals in the final 45 minutes, the first time they had conceded in the second half since a 2-1 win over Ceara in October.
This will be the seventh meeting between these two sides this year in all competitions, with Sao Paulo winning the Campeonato Paulista against them to begin the year, but Palmeiras repaid the favour by knocking the three-time Copa Libertadores champions out of that competition, with a 3-0 win in the second leg of their quarter-final tie in August.
