Palmeiras face key tie in March, eye Allianz Parque return, schedule

Palmeiras starts the month of March with a decisive match. This Sunday, the team led by Abel Ferreira will host São Paulo at Arena Crefisa Barueri for the single-leg semifinal of the Campeonato Paulista. In addition to several other commitments, Verdão is also living with the expectation of its return to Allianz Parque, which is undergoing turf renovations.

WTorre avoids setting a deadline to complete the work and does not guarantee the use of Allianz for a possible final. On the other hand, Soccer Grass, responsible for installing the new turf, is optimistic that they can deliver the stadium in time for a potential second match of the Paulistão final. The finals of the Paulista are scheduled for March 4 and 8.

Apart from the semifinal classic and the two potential final matches, Palmeiras has four more confirmed games for March, all for the Brazilian Championship. There are two home matches (Mirassol and Botafogo) and two away matches, including another Choque-Rei (Vasco and São Paulo). According to the Palmeiras website and the CBF itself, the home games are scheduled to take place at Allianz Parque.

The last commitment for Verdão in the month takes place on the 21st and will be the classic against São Paulo, for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. The classic is scheduled for 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbis. After that, the tournament pauses for the FIFA date, from March 23 to 31, during which the Brazilian National Team will play friendlies in preparation for the World Cup.

Still in March, Palmeiras will find out its group stage opponents for the Libertadores. The draw is scheduled to take place on the 18th, at 8:00 PM, at the Conmebol headquarters in Paraguay.
