Flamengo lost to Fortaleza 1-0 last Saturday (25) and now keeps an eye on the rest of the Brazilian Championship round. Thus, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro face each other this Sunday (26), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, and Coluna do Fla brings the probable lineups for both teams.
Palmeiras: Carlos Miguel; Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo (Bruno Fuchs) and Jefté; Emiliano Martínez, Andreas Pereira (Raphael Veiga), Felipe Anderson (Sosa) and Mauricio; Flaco López and Vitor Roque.
Cruzeiro: Cássio; Kaiki, Villalba, Fabrício Bruno, William; Lucas Silva, Lucas Romero, Matheus Pereira; Christian, Wanderson and Kaio Jorge.
Palmeiras comes into the match after two tough defeats. First, they lost to Flamengo 3-2 at Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. Right after, Abel Ferreira's team was run over by LDU (EQU) in Quito, 3-0, in the Copa Libertadores.
For the match against Cruzeiro, coach Abel Ferreira will be without three players. That's because Lucas Evangelista and Paulinho are in the medical department. Finally, Piquerez is suspended.
In the last round, Cruzeiro beat Fortaleza 1-0 in Belo Horizonte. In addition, the team led by Leonardo Jardim hasn't lost since the end of September, when they were defeated by Vasco 2-0.
Against Palmeiras, coach Leonardo Jardim will be without four players. That's because Matheus Henrique, Fagner, Marquinhos, and Janderson are all in the club's medical department.
