Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras post 72.7% points return in Libertadores | OneFootball

Abel Ferreira has delivered a 72.7% points return for Palmeiras in the Libertadores, according to Nosso Palestra.

Since taking charge, he has overseen 71 matches, with 46 wins, 17 draws and eight defeats.

Under the Portuguese, Palmeiras have won the competition twice, finished runners-up once, reached two semi-finals and once exited in the round of 16.

They have been regulars in the decisive stages, rarely far from the title race. This season brought an unusual twist, with second place in the group and no seeding advantage into the last 16.

Even so, that position could prove helpful. The bracket has put potentially more accessible opponents in Palmeiras’ path, offering a route considered favourable towards the latter stages. Palmeiras host Cerro Porteño-PAR at 19:00, Brasília time, at Nubank Parque in the first leg of the round of 16.
