Palmeiras seek revival in Brasileiro, target win over Vitória | OneFootball

Palmeiras is coming off two consecutive defeats in the Brazilian Championship and is trying to recover in the competition to stay in the fight for the title with Flamengo. The team, led by coach Abel Ferreira, will host Vitória this Wednesday, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, in a match brought forward from the 37th round of the competition.

Situation in the Brasileirão

With defeats to Mirassol (2-1) and Santos (1-0), both away from home, in the 33rd and 13th rounds, Palmeiras lost the lead in the Brasileirão. The team dropped to second place, with 68 points, three fewer than Flamengo, who took the top spot after two consecutive wins.

Palmeiras hasn't beaten Vitória in two matches

Palmeiras is trying to break a small bitter streak against Vitória. In the last two meetings between the teams, Verdão recorded a loss and a draw. On both occasions, Alviverde faced their rival with a reserve team.

The defeat even happened at Allianz Parque, in the 20th round of the 2024 Brasileirão. This year, Verdão managed a 2-2 draw at Barradão, in the 18th round. On the first occasion, Abel Ferreira decided to rest the team since the match preceded the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16.

This year, the teams met between the round of 16 matches of the Copa do Brasil.

Abel hopes to have a full squad

This time, aiming for a recovery in the Brasileirão, coach Abel Ferreira should have a stronger squad to face Vitória at Allianz Parque. Midfielders Allan and Andreas Pereira are available to the team again after serving suspensions against Santos.
