Palmeiras is set for Thursday's match against Internacional, for the third round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre (RS).
For this match, coach Abel Ferreira repeated the lineup of the team that defeated Corinthians 1-0 last Sunday in the Paulista Championship.
The Palmeiras lineup, therefore, is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Mauricio, and Allan; Flaco López and Vitor Roque. Coach: Abel Ferreira
On the other side, Internacional features the reinforcement of forward Kayky, who was announced by the club last Wednesday and starts on the bench.
Thus, Colorado has the following lineup: Rochet; Bruno Gomes, Victor Gabriel, Mercado, and Bernabei; Ronaldo, Paulinho, and Alan Patrick; Vitinho, Borré, and Carbonero. Coach: Paulo Pezzolano
Palmeiras is unbeaten in two matches this season and comes into the clash with Internacional on a high after winning the Derby. In the Brazilian Championship, Abel Ferreira’s team is undefeated, with one draw and one win.
Alviverde is seeking its second consecutive win in the Brasileirão to establish itself among the leaders. The team started the round in second place, with four points. At the moment, it is in sixth place.
Having qualified for the semifinals of the Campeonato Gaúcho, Internacional is unbeaten in three matches. However, Paulo Pezzolano’s team has yet to win in the Brazilian Championship. The team from Rio Grande do Sul debuted with a loss and drew against Flamengo, and now seeks its first victory in the national tournament.
