What is Palmeiras’ lineup for the Copa Libertadores match?

Flamengo and Palmeiras face off in a title-deciding Brasileirão clash on Saturday (23), but this Wednesday (20) both teams take the field in the Libertadores. Even with that in mind, the São Paulo side did not rest players against Cerro Porteño (PAR), while Mengão made changes.

Palmeiras vs. Cerro Porteño kicks off at 9:30 PM Brasília time this Wednesday (20), at Nubank Parque. For the match, coach Abel Ferreira picked the following lineup: Carlos Miguel, Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Emiliano Martínez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira and John Arias; Allan, Arthur and Flaco López.

It is important to note that Palmeiras have not yet secured qualification for the next round of the Libertadores. Because of that, Abel Ferreira is going with his strongest lineup and relying on home advantage to move closer to success.
