Palmeiras line-up: Abel Ferreira welcomes key player back against Mirassol | OneFootball

Palmeiras completed their final training session on Saturday morning (08) at the Football Academy before facing Mirassol, scheduled for this Sunday (09) at 8:30 p.m. at Estádio Campos Maia, for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Under the guidance of Abel Ferreira’s coaching staff, the squad carried out tactical activities focusing on marking, transitions, and building plays. In the final stage of training, some players dedicated themselves to improving crosses and finishing.

Midfielder Lucas Evangelista and forward Paulinho continued their internal work in the Health and Performance Department. Goalkeeper Weverton participated in field activities, but with restrictions. The team will once again have midfielder Aníbal Moreno available, who served a suspension in the derby against Santos due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

After training, the squad had lunch at the training center and then traveled to the interior of São Paulo.

In the first round of the Brasileirão, Palmeiras and Mirassol drew 1-1 at Allianz Parque, with a goal from Uruguayan midfielder Facundo Torres. This is the first season in which the clubs face each other in a national competition. Historically, matches between the teams have mainly taken place in the Campeonato Paulista. Palmeiras heads into the match with a streak of four unbeaten games against the opponent—three wins (in the state championships of 2023, 2024, and 2025) and a draw in the current Brasileiro. The club could match its longest unbeaten run in this fixture, recorded between 2008 and 2011, when they went five games without losing.

In addition to their good record, the team is experiencing a historic moment in the competition. In the last round, Palmeiras achieved their 750th victory in the Brazilian Championship, making them the club with the most wins in the tournament’s history. In 2025, the team is having its best campaign in the points system: 68 points in 31 matches, surpassing the marks of 2022 (67 points) and 2019 (66 points) in the same number of rounds. In the years they won the Brazilian title, Palmeiras had, after 31 games, 64 points in 2016, 63 in 2018, 67 in 2022, and 56 in 2023.
