Probable lineups

With no new absences, coach Abel Ferreira should repeat the same lineup from the victory over São Paulo in the semifinal. The possible new face among Palmeiras' squad is midfielder Emiliano Martínez, who is currently in the physical transition phase on the pitch.

Meanwhile, Novorizontino has a doubt in midfield: Rômulo. Tigre needs to pay a R$ 1 million fine if they want to field the player, who is on loan from Alviverde. Coach Enderson Moreira is keeping it under wraps and the player's presence remains uncertain.

Probable Palmeiras lineup

Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Mauricio, and Allan; Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Probable Novorizontino lineup

Jordi; Alvariño, Dantas, Patrick, and Mayk; Luís Oyama, Léo Naldi, and Juninho (Rômulo); Matheus Bianqui, Vinicius Paiva, and Robson.
