Palmeiras’ historic Brasileirão form contrasts with toughest Libertadores under Abel Ferreira | OneFootball

Palmeiras’ historic Brasileirão form contrasts with a far trickier Libertadores under Abel Ferreira. A 3-0 win over Flamengo at the Maracanã has them flying domestically while continental progress is not yet assured. Flamengo sit second.

Nosso Palestra reports a domestic surge alongside a precarious continental picture.

They sit on 38 points from 17 rounds, the club’s best start in the points era. Their 11 wins, five draws and one defeat eclipse the 2009 and 2025 returns of 35 points after 17. The lead is seven points and the unbeaten league run stands at 11.

In South America, the picture is less serene. For the first time since the Portuguese coach arrived in November 2020, Palmeiras reach the final group game at risk of going out.

Second in Group F on eight points, they need at least a draw against Junior Barranquilla at Allianz Parque to make the last 16. To top the section, Palmeiras must win and hope Cerro Porteño lose to Sporting Cristal.
