Abel Ferreira to make changes as Palmeiras complete preparations for Grêmio | OneFootball

Palmeiras completed final preparations on Saturday morning at the Football Academy for Sunday’s 28th round meeting with Grêmio at 11:00 Brasília time, at Arena do Grêmio, with tactical and technical work led by Abel Ferreira’s staff.

According to Nosso Palestra, a tactical video preceded on-pitch positioning drills, then a small-sided technical session split the squad into three teams. The group later flew to Porto Alegre.

Palmeiras arrive on 56 points from 27 games, the club’s third best return at this stage of the points era, behind 2025 with 61 and 2022 with 57.

They have the league’s second best away record at 61.90%, the best defence with 21 conceded, and the second best attack with 47 scored.

There are four absences for the trip. Centre-back Murilo is suspended, as is head coach Abel Ferreira, who will not be on the touchline. Paulinho and Jefté remain out with physical issues, and Paulinho is expected back after the FIFA international break.
