Palmeiras face decisive October with Libertadores semi and Brasileirão push | OneFootball

Palmeiras face a pivotal October, with seven fixtures that include a Libertadores semi-final and key Brasileirão tests after the international break.

According to Nosso Palestra, the schedule runs from 8 to 28 October, with the Fluminense semi for a place in the final the centrepiece.

8 October, Palmeiras v Bahia, Nubank Parque, 21h30.

11 October, Palmeiras v Corinthians, Nubank Parque, 17h30.

14 October, Fluminense v Palmeiras, Maracanã, 21h30, first leg of the Conmebol Libertadores semi-final.

17 October, Athletico-PR v Palmeiras, Arena da Baixada, 19h30.

21 October, Palmeiras v Fluminense, Nubank Parque, 21h30, second leg of the Conmebol Libertadores semi-final.

24 October, Palmeiras v Red Bull Bragantino, Arena Barueri, 18h30.

28 October, Santos v Palmeiras, Vila Belmiro, 19h30.

By the end of the month, the picture could look very different.

If they get past Fluminense, Palmeiras would be guaranteed a Libertadores final place and remain in contention for the continent's main title.

Strong league results could also keep them in the race for top spot going into the run-in.

A poor sequence across both competitions, however, could increase the pressure at the most important point of the season.
