Palmeiras wants to maintain a long taboo against Criciúma in the Brasileirão; see numbers
Palmeiras would meet Criciúma again a decade later and there would be a turnaround. The clash for the seventh edition of the Brasileirão takes place this Saturday (2), at 4pm, at Jardim Heriberto Hülse. Verdão hasn't known what it's like to lose to this opponent since 1997, when they won 1-0 at the old Palestra Itália Stadium.
