Palmeiras slump in form and results at crucial stage of the season | OneFootball

Palmeiras found themselves in a tough spot in the Brazilian Championship. Abel Ferreira's team couldn't break the 0-0 draw against Vitória on Wednesday night (19th) at Allianz Parque and might see Flamengo open up a five-point lead at the top of the competition.

With only four matches remaining – three away and just one at home – in the Brasileirão, Flamengo could open a five-point lead if they defeat Fluminense also on Wednesday, at Maracanã.

Decline in performance

Palmeiras is facing the most tense moment of the 2025 season, but recent games don't reflect this in the Palmeiras squad. In the matches against Mirassol, Santos, and Vitória, Verdão barely managed to pose a threat and create significant chances against their respective opponents.

Against Mirassol, the squad was complete, but in recent games, the club has been dealing with important absences and fatigued players. Verdão still has the Libertadores final next Saturday (29th) against Flamengo, which could earn them their fourth American championship.

Undeniably, Verdão lost crucial points and lost the identity they had on the field. However, there is still time for recovery before the final.

What now?

The draw puts Palmeiras in a tough position in the standings. Verdão reaches 69 points, two behind Flamengo, who have 71 but still have to play this round.

With four rounds remaining until the end of the Brazilian Championship, the Palmeiras team returns to the field next Saturday (22nd) against Fluminense, at Allianz Parque, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 35th round.
