Palmeiras face up to 34 matches in five months, prep for run-in | OneFootball

After a break, Palmeiras returned to training and began its mid-season preparations this Thursday (25) at the Football Academy. The team coached by Abel Ferreira faces a true marathon of matches in the final stretch of the season.

If they advance to the deciding stages of every competition they are in, Verdão could play 34 more matches before the end of 2026. Most of those fixtures will be in the Brazilian Championship, with 20 rounds still to be played. In addition, the club could add up to seven matches in the Copa do Brasil, depending on how far they go in the tournament.

The projection represents an average of nearly seven matches per month, or approximately one game every four days over the next five months. The scenario will require a squad that is physically and mentally prepared to withstand the high intensity of matches and travel.

That is why the mid-season period takes on strategic importance. The training period will serve to improve the team’s physical, technical, and tactical aspects, as well as help players recover and fine-tune details ahead of the return of competition.

With a challenging schedule ahead, Palmeiras is counting on the strength of its squad and the experience of its coaching staff to maintain a high level of performance and keep fighting for titles until the season’s final match.
