Palmeiras yet to beat any of the current top four in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Leader and main candidate to win the Brazilian Championship, Palmeiras needs to break an uncomfortable taboo this Sunday if they want to leave the match against Mirassol with three points. In this edition of the competition, in five games, the Alviverde has not yet defeated a team that is currently in the G-4 (Flamengo, Cruzeiro, and Mirassol).

So far, Palmeiras has accumulated a record of three losses and two draws against these teams. Against Flamengo, Abel Ferreira's team lost at Allianz Parque (0x2) and at Maracanã (1×3). Against Cruzeiro, they were defeated at Mineirão (1×2) and drew at home (0x0). Finally, in the first round, a 1-1 draw with Mirassol at the Alviverde's home.

Important Return

To overcome this uncomfortable taboo and defeat Mirassol this Sunday, Palmeiras will count on an important return. Midfielder Aníbal Moreno, who was suspended against Santos, returns to the starting lineup.

Thus, the probable lineup for Palmeiras against Mirassol includes: Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gómez, Fuchs, and Piquerez; Aníbal Moreno (Emiliano Martínez), Andreas Pereira, Sosa, and Allan (Mauricio); Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Palmeiras is the leader of the Brazilian Championship with 68 points in 31 games. Meanwhile, Mirassol, the great sensation of the competition, is in fourth place with 56 points in 32 games.
