This Saturday, Palmeiras landed in Rio de Janeiro, where they will face Flamengo in a clash valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls this Sunday at the Maracanã, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time).

The Palmeiras delegation flew to the capital in the afternoon, right after the final training session at the Football Academy, focusing on wrapping up preparations for the match.

For the clash, Verdão should have two updates. The first is Khellven, who has been training normally with his teammates since last Thursday and should again be an option in the position.

In addition to the right-back, Alviverde will have the certain return of Gustavo Gómez. The center-back rejoined after serving the Paraguayan national team during the FIFA window.

Thus, a probable lineup is: Carlos Miguel (Marcelo Lomba); Giay (Khellven), Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Piquerez; Aníbal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, Felipe Anderson, Raphael Veiga (Mauricio); Flaco López, Vitor Roque.

With the win over Bragantino, Verdão maintained a three-point lead over Flamengo at the top. Alviverde sits at the summit with 61 points, while Rubro-Negro, who beat Botafogo 3-0 in the last round, are second with 58 points.
