How are the teams coming into it?

Verdão won the first match against Santos, played last Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at Nubank Parque, by a score of 3-0, with goals from Flaco López (2) and Andreas Pereira.

As a result, Palmeiras can lose by up to two goals and still qualify for the semifinals. Santos, meanwhile, need to win by four goals to advance in the national competition. If the aggregate score is tied, the matchup will be decided on penalties.

Whoever advances will face the winner of Vitória vs Vasco. In the first match, the Rio de Janeiro side won 1-0.

Gustavinho is a doubt for Santos' match against Verdão

Right-back/defensive midfielder Gustavinho started against Corinthians in the Brasileirão, but was substituted in the first half with pain in his left thigh, making way for Christian Oliva, who scored the winner in the 1-0 victory at Neo Química Arena.

As a result, the player will be re-evaluated to determine his actual condition and could miss the derby. However, the expectation is that Neymar, who did not play in the first leg at Nubank Parque because of the synthetic pitch, should feature in the Copa do Brasil match.

Palmeiras will have important reinforcements for the derby at Vila Belmiro

The main development in recent training sessions was the presence of three players who returned to training with the squad: center-back Alexander Barboza, left-back Joaquín Piquerez and attacking midfielder Jhon Arias.

Barboza had been rested for the match against Mirassol due to a foot injury. Piquerez, meanwhile, had been recovering from swelling in his right thigh, while Arias is dealing with a minor injury to his right thigh.

As a result, the players are expected to be among those called up for the Clássico da Saudade in the Copa do Brasil.
