Palmeiras visit River in Argentina, then face a Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Palmeiras has a very important week ahead. In good form and unbeaten since being eliminated by Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil, Verdão remains in the race for the titles of the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa Libertadores, with decisive matches in the next seven days.

Less than a day after thrashing Internacional 4-1 in the Brasileirão at Allianz Parque, Palmeiras has already started preparing for its next challenge: River Plate. With recovery work for the starters and a group session for the rest of the players, Alviverde kicked off preparations for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.

The São Paulo team still has two more days of training before the match. The expectation is that Alviverde will travel to Argentina after Tuesday's training session.

The ball rolls at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday at the Estadio Más Monumental, against River Plate. The squad is expected to return to São Paulo right after the match in Buenos Aires.

After the international competition game, the work doesn't stop. With a training session scheduled for Thursday at the Football Academy, Verdão will already begin preparations to face Fortaleza in the 24th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. To take on Leão do Pici, Palmeiras will also train on Friday, when they wrap up their preparations.

On Saturday, another match. On the pitch at Allianz Parque, the Palestrinos host Fortaleza at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), looking to reach their 11th unbeaten game in the country's main competition.
