Juca: Corinthians' Victory Over Palmeiras Seen as Unlikely

Legendary Brazilian sports journalist José "Juca" Kfouri has weighed in on the upcoming Corinthians vs. Palmeiras clash, casting doubt on the possibility of a Corinthians victory.

In a recent article for ESPN Brasil, Juca expressed his belief that Palmeiras, the current Brazilian champions, are the favorites heading into the match. He highlighted Palmeiras' strong form and the team's recent dominance over Corinthians, citing the fact that Corinthians haven't managed to beat their arch-rivals in their last seven meetings.

"It's not easy to see Corinthians beating Palmeiras at this moment," Juca wrote. "Palmeiras is playing at a very high level, they are the current champions, and they have a strong squad. Corinthians, on the other hand, are struggling to find consistency."

Juca also emphasized the psychological advantage that Palmeiras holds over Corinthians. He pointed out that the recent history of these clashes has been one of frustration for Corinthians, with their last victory over Palmeiras coming in 2019.

"Corinthians players will be carrying the weight of this recent history into the match," Juca added. "They will need to overcome this psychological barrier if they want to beat Palmeiras."

Despite his pessimism about Corinthians' chances, Juca acknowledged that the derby is always a special match, and anything can happen. He noted that Corinthians have a history of pulling off upsets against Palmeiras, even when they are not the favorites.

"It's a derby, and in derbies, anything can happen," Juca concluded. "But based on the current form of both teams, I believe Palmeiras is the favorite to win this one."
