Libertadores, derby and more: Palmeiras’ fixtures in April | OneFootball

Palmeiras will have a packed schedule in April. Verdão will compete in three tournaments — the Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, and Brazilian Championship — and currently has nine matches scheduled, including its debut in the continental tournament and a derby against Corinthians.

Alviverde will play a total of five matches in the Brazilian Championship, in addition to the first three rounds of the Libertadores group stage and its debut in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

The team begins its April marathon this Thursday, when it hosts Grêmio in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Arena Barueri, in Barueri, São Paulo.

After that, Palmeiras will face a tough run of three away matches. First, it takes on Bahia this Sunday at Arena Fonte Nova in the 10th round of the Brasileirão. Then, it will make its Libertadores debut against Junior Barranquilla on April 8 at the Metropolitano Stadium in Barranquilla.

The final match of Alviverde’s away “journey” is none other than a Derby. Verdão will visit Neo Química Arena for the second time this year to face rival Corinthians on April 12 at 6:30 p.m., in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship.

After that, Palmeiras will have three straight home games. There will be three consecutive matches at home against Sporting Cristal-PER (second round of the Libertadores) and Athletico-PR (12th round of Série A), as well as its debut in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, in the first leg against Jacuipense.

Finally, Abel Ferreira’s men close out the month with more away fixtures. The first is against Red Bull Bragantino in the 13th round of the Brasileirão on April 26. Three days later, on April 29, Palmeiras will travel to Paraguay to face Cerro Porteño in the third round of the Libertadores group stage.

Palmeiras in good form

Coming off three straight wins, Palmeiras sits alone at the top of the Brazilian Championship table with 19 points. Now, Verdão is looking for another victory over Grêmio while hoping Fluminense and São Paulo slip up to extend its lead at the top of the standings.
