Speak, Murilo!

After training, defender Murilo assessed the team's performance at the start of the season and highlighted the team's evolution despite the intense sequence of matches.

We have been able to evolve, even with few training sessions and a large sequence of games. It's only a month of work, and we have been able to evolve, doing what Abel is asking. Of course, we still need more rhythm and more integration, but we are evolving and growing. I believe that in a few more games, we will be even sharper.

The number 26 also emphasized the importance of having the entire squad available throughout the season.

Having the whole squad is very important, and it has been making a difference. Not only at the beginning of the season but also when we reach the end. Now it's about continuing the work in the best way because all of this will be reflected on the field.

Murilo, in fact, is the player in the current squad with the lowest defeat rate since joining the club, with only 13% negative results, followed by Piquerez, with 15%.

Verdão occupies the second position in the Brazilian Championship, with four points, two less than the leader Bragantino. As a visitor against Internacional, Palmeiras is unbeaten in three matches at Beira-Rio — 0-0 draws in 2023 and 1-1 in 2024, in addition to a 1-0 victory in 2025. If they maintain their unbeaten run, the club will achieve a record that hasn't happened since the period between 1978 and 1979.

Projecting the duel, Murilo highlighted the competition's level of difficulty and the importance of scoring away from home.

It will be a very important game, we know how difficult the Brazilian Championship is. Starting by scoring points is very important, especially away from home, and it will be a very tough game. We will go there and know very well how to defend and attack when we have the ball to play a great game and come away with the result.

Probable lineup

For the match, Abel Ferreira is expected to repeat the team that has been playing and winning. Considering this, the probable lineup for Palmeiras is: Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Allan, and Maurício; Vitor Roque and Flaco López.
