Palmeiras line-up: Verdão set to spring surprises against Mirassol

Palmeiras trained on the morning of this Friday (13th), at the Football Academy, beginning preparations to face Mirassol at 6:30 PM on Sunday (15th), at Allianz Parque, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship.

The Verdão returns to its stadium after almost four months – the last home game was on November 22, 2025, in a 0-0 draw against Fluminense – maintaining an unbeaten streak of 14 matches at the arena, with 10 wins and four draws. This is the best record since the 20-game unbeaten run between October 2023 and July 2024.

Friday’s training session was divided: players who played more than 45 minutes against Vasco on Thursday (12th), at São Januário, did regenerative activities, while the others participated in technical drills focusing on passing, ball circulation, and attacking exercises in the final third of the field.

Midfielder Mauricio, who missed the previous match due to a left foot injury, participated normally under the supervision of the Health and Performance Center.

Among the physical highlights, forward Paulinho, in physical reconditioning, took part in small-sided games with the Academy’s youth players. Meanwhile, defender Murilo, with a sprained left knee, and forward Vitor Roque, with pain in his left ankle, continued internal treatment.

Another new development for Sunday’s match (15th) should be the return of left-back Piquerez, who did not play against Vasco in Rio de Janeiro.

Arthur Speaks!

Left-back Arthur, who replaced Jefté in the final minutes against Vasco, played his third match for the first team. Paulista champion in 2026 in his first professional championship, Arthur celebrated his return to Allianz Parque.

First, I thank God for getting into another game and gaining a bit more playing time. Defeat is part of the game, and we have to quickly turn the page. We already have a match on Sunday, against Mirassol, and it will be a very tough game. We have to keep working hard as we have been doing,” said the full-back. “It’s really good to be able to return to our home and count on the presence of the fans. I think it will make a difference for us to get back on the winning track this season.

Arthur, who joined the club’s youth academy in 2017, highlighted the importance of being a champion with the team he grew up with.

Being Paulista champion with Palmeiras is a feeling that’s very hard to explain. Being able to be part of the squad, having played and participated, is an indescribable feeling.

Combining Allianz Parque and Arena Crefisa Barueri, Palmeiras remains unbeaten in 23 home matches (18 wins and five draws since August 2025), a record not reached since July 2022 to June 2023, when the team went 33 games without losing at home. In the current period, Verdão has won 13 games in the Brazilian Championship, seven in the Paulista Championship, and two in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, in addition to five draws.
