Palmeiras upbeat for Brasileirão clash with Flu, keep an eye on them | OneFootball

Fluminense will face, in the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship, a club that is a direct competitor in the fight for the top of the table. Palmeiras is currently in first place, with the same number of points as Tricolor (seven points), but has the advantage due to a higher goal difference.

In addition to the head-to-head clash, the Warriors Team will meet an old acquaintance again: midfielder Jhon Arias. With the reinforcement of the Colombian, Verdão continues its good run after eliminating Capivariano in the quarterfinals of the Paulista, with a 4-0 victory last Saturday (21).

For the match, coach Abel Ferreira will not have some important players available. Forward Paulinho and midfielders Emiliano Martínez and Figueiredo are still undergoing medical recovery.

Probable Palmeiras lineup: Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Mauricio; Allan, Flaco López, and Vitor Roque.

Palmeiras and Fluminense face each other this Wednesday (25), at 9:30 PM, at Arena Barueri.
