Palmeiras face crucial run in October, season hangs in the balance | OneFootball

The Palmeiras will face a marathon of decisive matches in October this season. In just over ten days, Abel Ferreira's team will have crucial trips and matches for the team's ambitions in the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship, which could define the future of the season.

The marathon begins on the weekend of October 19th, when the team faces Flamengo at Maracanã for the Brazilian Championship. The teams are competing point by point for the leadership of the competition.

Midweek, on October 22nd (Wednesday), the first match between Palmeiras and LDU in Quito, Ecuador, for the Libertadores semifinal.

The marathon continues with two more decisive games at Allianz Parque. On the following weekend, between October 25th and 26th, a match against Cruzeiro for the Brasileirão. And at the end of the marathon, the return match against LDU on Wednesday (29th).

The situation is similar to what happened in August 2024, when the team faced decisive moments in the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores – with elimination in both competitions, against Flamengo and Botafogo, respectively. The team remained only in the Brasileirão, competing point by point for the leadership with Botafogo until the last round.

The Alviverde is in third place in the Brazilian Championship, with 49 points, behind Cruzeiro with 52, and Flamengo with 54. However, the team has fewer matches compared to its rivals.
