Palmeiras seek response to avoid repeat of late 2025 slide | OneFootball

Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras are in their poorest run of results since late 2025, just as the schedule reaches a decisive stage. The need for a swift reaction is growing to avoid a repeat of last year’s problems.

According to Nosso Palestra, in 2025 Palmeiras similarly struggled to convert performances into results. They ended as Copa Libertadores runners-up and lost the Campeonato Brasileiro lead in the final stretch.

They remain top of the Campeonato Brasileiro, although their advantage has shrunk in recent rounds. Returning to winning form is crucial to prevent further erosion and to keep control of the title race.

In the Libertadores, the Verdão are in the round of 16 and drew 1-1 with Cerro Porteño in the first leg. The second leg is next week. An elimination would be another blow in a season in which the club aim to remain competitive in the main competitions until the end.

The club are also involved in the Copa do Brasil, offering another route to a trophy. That campaign demands consistency through a sequence of matches that is set to become even tighter in the weeks ahead.
