Palmeiras take the field this Thursday (16) at 7pm (Brasília time), when they host Sporting Cristal at Allianz Parque in the second round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores.

After drawing in their opener, Verdão sit in third place in Group F, which is led by the Peruvian side with three points.

With two matches already played, Cerro Porteño also have three points, while Junior Barranquilla are bottom with one point.

Suspended by the STJD for domestic competitions, Abel Ferreira is cleared by Conmebol to lead the green-and-white side in the Libertadores.

And the Portuguese coach chose to field exactly the same team that started last weekend’s Derby, which ended 0-0 in the Brasileirão.
