The team led by Abel Ferreira has five wins and two losses in the State Championship. Verdão is the runner-up in the competition with 15 points and can take the lead if they win and Novorizontino slips up.

Guarani comes into the duel after a 2-0 loss to Botafogo-SP. Bugre has 11 points and sits in sixth place in the table. In this position, they can advance to the quarterfinals. To avoid relying on other results, Matheus Costa’s team needs just one win to secure a spot in the knockout stage.

For this match, Palmeiras is expected to make changes to the team. Abel Ferreira repeated the lineup in the last three matches and, already qualified for the quarterfinals, will resume squad rotation. As a result, a reserve team is likely to take the field.

Jhon Arias is available to Abel, but remains doubtful. The Colombian arrived in Brazil on Friday and only had his first training session at the training center this Saturday.

Guarani, meanwhile, will have goalkeeper Caíque França back, after he served a suspension in the match against Botafogo-SP. On the other hand, the coach has two new absences due to suspension.
