Palmeiras tweak defence for Brasileirão opener vs Atlético-MG, line-ups | OneFootball

Palmeiras is set for its debut in the 2026 Brazilian Championship, which takes place this Wednesday against Atlético-MG. The match kicks off at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte (MG).

Palmeiras Lineup

The coach has been adopting a rotation system at the start of the season and has not repeated any lineup in the first five rounds of the Paulista. Compared to the last match, the 3-1 victory over São Paulo, the coach made only one change: Murilo comes in for Bruno Fuchs in defense.

Thus, the Palmeiras lineup is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Allan, and Mauricio; Ramón Sosa and Flaco López.

Atlético-MG Lineup

Coach Jorge Sampaoli has set Atlético-MG for the Brasileirão debut with changes compared to the team that won the derby against Cruzeiro last weekend. Alan Franco will be improvised at right-back, while Igor Gomes gets a spot in midfield. For this match, the coach will not have forward Rony, who said goodbye to the club and is on his way to Santos.

Therefore, the Atlético-MG lineup is: Everson; Alan Franco, Ruan Tressoldi, Júnior Alonso, and Renan Lodi; Igor Gomes, Maycon, Victor Hugo, and Bernard; Dudu and Hulk.
