Palmeiras travel to Juventude, aiming to stay top of Brasileirão | OneFootball

Palmeiras held their last training session on the morning of this Saturday (01) before facing Juventude this Sunday (02) at 6:30 PM at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The activity took place at the Football Academy in São Paulo.

How was the training?

Under the command of coach Abel Ferreira, the team participated in a positional tactical work, followed by a recreational activity, which is traditional the day before matches. After the training, the team traveled to Caxias do Sul (RS) in the afternoon.

Leading the Brasileirão with 62 points, Palmeiras takes the field with a one-point advantage over second-placed Flamengo. The current campaign is already the second-best in the club's history in the points system era, only behind the performance in 2022, when Verdão scored 63 points in 29 rounds. Following are the years 2016 and 2019, both with 60 points at the same stage of the competition.

The recent record against Juventude is positive: Palmeiras is undefeated in seven encounters against the club from Rio Grande do Sul, with six wins and one draw since the last defeat in 2007. Additionally, the team has five consecutive victories over the opponent — two in 2022, two in 2024, and one in 2025 — establishing the longest winning streak in the history of the matchup, surpassing the previous record of four consecutive wins between 2004 and 2005.

Probable lineup

Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Aníbal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, Allan, and Felipe Anderson; Vitor Roque and Flaco López.

Abel Ferreira may choose to rest some players in Sunday's (2) match, but the decision will be made on the day of the game. Verdão is coming off a great sequence of decisive matches, and the clash against Juventude is of lower intensity compared to the previous ones.
