📋 Palmeiras line-up to face Atlético-MG, aiming to stay alive in the BR | OneFootball

After the disappointment of finishing second in the Libertadores, Palmeiras turns its attention to the Brasileirão, where it faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (3), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in a postponed match from the 34th round.

Verdão occupies second place with 70 points and needs to win and hope for a slip from leader Flamengo (75 points) to keep dreaming of the title.

Meanwhile, Galo, with 45 points in 13th place, has a "double mission": to win to eliminate any risk of relegation and still try to snatch a spot in the next edition of the Libertadores through a hypothetical G-8.

For that to happen, Cruzeiro or Fluminense need to win the Copa do Brasil and finish in the Brasileirão's top five.

Raposa faces Corinthians in the semifinals of the tournament, while Tricolor Carioca plays a classic against Vasco.

Compared to the last match (1-0 for Fortaleza), coach Jorge Sampaoli opted for Saravia, Scarpa, and Rony to replace Alexsander, Bernard, and Hulk, respectively, in Atlético-MG.

As for Palmeiras, coming off a 1-0 loss to Flamengo in the Libertadores final, coach Abel Ferreira chose to only put Emiliano Martínez in place of Bruno Fuchs.
