Palmeiras banking on Allianz Parque boost to hold on to Copa do Brasil lead | OneFootball

Palmeiras hasn’t known what it’s like to lose at Allianz Parque for a little over two months. In the Brazilian Championship, that number is even better: they haven’t suffered a defeat at home since May. Betting on this home strength, Verdão hosts Red Bull Bragantino for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 7 PM (Brasília time).

Palmeiras’ Situation

Palmeiras is the outright leader of the Brazilian Championship. The team, led by coach Abel Ferreira, thrashed Juventude last Saturday, 4-1, in a postponed match from the 12th round. With that, they reached 58 points and opened up a three-point lead over Flamengo.

To maintain this lead at the top without depending on the result of Flamengo’s match against Botafogo, Verdão needs to beat Red Bull Bragantino.

The Power of the Fans

In 2025, Palmeiras has an average of 34,606 fans per match and should maintain this strong average to support the team in the final stretch of the season.

“The road is long, with many obstacles along the way. We’ll win, we’ll lose, but the important thing is for Palmeiras to remain competitive. I really need the help of our fans; we’re in the final stretch and now, more than ever, we need to be united for what we love. You’ve loved Palmeiras since you were little, I learned to love Palmeiras too. The joys are much greater, the connection and empathy remain the same. Be with us, Mancha, fans, everyone. When we’re together and you start singing and giving us goosebumps, I say we’re ready, no matter who we face or which players we have. I’m counting on you,” said Abel after the victory over Juventude.
