Palmeiras get home run to bounce back after two setbacks, see fixtures | OneFootball

Despite the bitter taste of the goalless draw with Corinthians, Palmeiras extended its unbeaten run this season and has now gone seven matches without losing. However, it has not won in its last two games. After two straight draws, the green-and-white side is looking to its upcoming home matches to get back to winning ways.

The Palmeiras squad is processing the draw in the derby and is already turning its attention to the next stage of the Copa Libertadores. Abel Ferreira’s men take the field this Thursday to face Sporting Cristal-PER in the second round of the continental competition. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque.

Palmeiras seeks first Libertadores win

Verdão will try to make the most of the strength of its fans to earn its first home win in the competition. In its opener, the São Paulo side drew 1-1 with Junior Barranquilla-COL in Cartagena. The result left Palmeiras in second place in Group F with one point. Sporting Cristal leads the group with three.

The switch has to happen fast

Then, on Sunday, Palmeiras will quickly turn its focus again and face Athletico-PR in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., also at Palmeiras’ home ground, where the club has not played since March 18, when it beat Botafogo 2-1.

During that span, Palmeiras played four away matches (São Paulo, Bahia, Junior Barranquilla and Corinthians) and one home game, held at Arena Crefisa Barueri (against Grêmio), due to Allianz Parque being unavailable.

In the Brazilian Championship, Palmeiras is the outright leader, with 26 points, six more than second-placed Flamengo.
