Palmeiras set for boost ahead of Vitória clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on the morning of this Monday (02) at the Football Academy, after the 1-0 defeat to Botafogo-SP on Sunday (01) in Ribeirão Preto (SP), for the Campeonato Paulista. Now, Verdão turns the page and has started preparations to face Vitória on Wednesday (04), at 9:30 p.m., at Arena Crefisa Barueri, for the second round of the Brazilian Championship.

In the debut of the national competition, the team led by Abel Ferreira drew 2-2 with Atlético-MG, away from home, in Minas Gerais. With an eye on the next match, the players who played more than 45 minutes in the interior of São Paulo performed recovery activities in the recovery and neuroscience areas of the excellence center. The rest of the squad went to the field and participated in tactical drills in reduced spaces, under the guidance of the coaching staff, with the presence of youth academy players.

In the process of physical transition, midfielder Lucas Evangelista took part in part of the training session in full, continuing his recovery.

The match against Vitória will be played at a venue that has been favorable to Palmeiras. The club has won its last five games at Arena Crefisa Barueri, four of which were derbies. In 2025, they defeated Corinthians (2-0) and São Paulo (1-0). In 2026, they beat Santos (1-0), Mirassol (1-0), and São Paulo again (3-1), matching the club’s longest winning streak at the stadium, previously recorded between 2012 and 2022. With another victory, Verdão could set a new record.

In addition to their strong offensive record, the team also stands out defensively at this venue. They have conceded just one goal in the last five games, with four consecutive clean sheets—a mark that also matches the club’s best historical defensive performance at the stadium.

Palmeiras is also enjoying a long unbeaten run at home. They are 17 games unbeaten at home, with 13 wins and four draws since August 2025. In the Brazilian Championship, the unbeaten streak at home reaches 14 matches (10 wins and four draws since July last year), the longest since the period between July 2022 and June 2023.
