Palmeiras line-up: Abel Ferreira readies surprises for Flamengo | OneFootball

Palmeiras trained on the morning of this Saturday (18th) at the Football Academy and completed preparations for the match against Flamengo, at 4 PM on Sunday (19th), at Maracanã, for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. After watching a tactical video, the players went to the field for a positional training session with rehearsals of specific game situations.

With the return of Flaco López and Anibal to the starting lineup and the return of Gustavo Gómez, Abel Ferreira is expected to field a team with: Carlos Miguel, Giay, Gomez, Murilo, Piquerez, Aníbal, Andreas, Maurício (Raphael Veiga), Felipe Anderson, Flaco, and Vitor Roque.

The Greatest Champion of Brazil is one victory away from completing 50 wins over Flamengo in all history (there have been 132 matches between the rivals, with 49 wins, 38 draws, and 45 losses). To date, 16 clubs have been defeated at least five dozen times by the Greatest Champion of Brazil, with three from outside the state of São Paulo – precisely the also Carioca teams Vasco (65), Fluminense (64), and Botafogo (53).

The green-and-white team reached 61 points in 27 games, followed by the red-and-black team, with 58 points also after 27 rounds. If Flamengo wins the head-to-head, they will tie in points with Palmeiras but will still have one less victory. The teams take the field this Sunday (19th) at 4 PM.
