Probable lineups

Coach Rogério Ceni should not have any major problems naming his team against Palmeiras. At the moment, he is only without Kanu, Ronaldo, and Ruan Pablo, who are being treated by the medical department. In the last match, he welcomed back Everton Ribeiro, who should remain in the starting lineup.

On the other side, coach Abel Ferreira, who returns from suspension, has picked up another absentee: Jefté, with a right thigh injury. Vitor Roque, who is recovering from pain in his left ankle, is expected to miss out once again. On the other hand, Gómez, who was only on the bench after returning from the Paraguay national team, should reclaim his starting spot in central defense.
