Palmeiras face three away games in eight days before LDU home return | OneFootball

Palmeiras face three straight away matches in eight days before returning home, having won the Copa do Brasil quarter-final first leg against Santos at Nubank Parque.

Nosso Palestra reports that the run begins on Sunday 30 against Mirassol at Estádio Campos Maia, in the 25th round of the Brasileirão.

They then visit Santos at Vila Belmiro on Wednesday 2 for the Copa do Brasil quarter-final second leg, before travelling to face Botafogo on Sunday 6 at Nilton Santos in the 26th round.

The schedule is demanding but travel is relatively light at this stage, with Mirassol and Santos inside São Paulo state and Botafogo requiring a trip to Rio de Janeiro.

Palmeiras return to Nubank Parque only on Wednesday 9, when they host Ecuador’s LDU in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.

Squad management is key as they defend the league lead and carry a 3-0 advantage over Santos in the cup. Joaquín Piquerez and Jhon Arias have been diagnosed with muscular injuries after the clássico, increasing concern over fitness through this spell.
