Palmeiras’ treble bid runs through Rio, facing Flamengo, Fluminense and Vasco | OneFootball

Palmeiras’ pursuit of a historic treble now runs through Rio de Janeiro. Alive in the Brasileirão, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil, they face Flamengo, Fluminense and Vasco in a decisive run-in.

According to Nosso Palestra, Palmeiras are the only Brazilian side still competing on all three fronts, and their campaign has already yielded more than R$ 60 million in prize money.

The first leg against Fluminense is set for the Maracanã, with the return at Nubank Parque after a superior group-stage record. The ties are planned for the weeks of 13 and 20 October, subject to Conmebol confirmation.

In the Copa do Brasil semi-final, Palmeiras face Vasco, at home first then away. The ties are set for one and eight November. Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro contest the other semi, so a Minas club would await if they advance.

In the league, Flamengo lead on 57 points with Palmeiras on 56. They meet in the 36th round at the Maracanã. Before that, Palmeiras play Grêmio and Flamengo face Red Bull Bragantino.

The calendar now compresses decisive fixtures into a short window, demanding careful management of fatigue, travel, suspensions and injuries. A clean sweep across the three competitions remains mathematically possible and would bring further prize money and qualification places.
