Palmeiras: form and statistics

Form in all competitions: LDDLL

Palmeiras have been nothing short of exceptional in this year’s Copa Libertadores, cruising through the competition with an unbeaten record up until the first leg of their semi-final clash against LDU Quito. Palmeiras were a bit unlucky in the first leg as they created lots of chances, but they weren’t clinical in front of goal. LDU scored three goals in the first half, and that was all they needed to secure the victory. However, Palmeiras pulled off the unthinkable in the return leg, securing a 4-0 victory to advance to the Copa Libertadores final. 

In the Brasileirão, they’ve been exceptional as well, sitting in second place with 21 wins, seven draws, and only eight defeats from 31 league outings. A top-four finish is already guaranteed, meaning their ticket to next season’s Libertadores is 8100% secured, but they must try to win the Copa Libertadores this season, potentially increasing their tally to four. 

In the Copa Libertadores, they finished top of Group G with an unbeaten record. Six solid victories in six group games in the Libertadores group stage for Palmeiras was a feat we never saw coming. They sealed their qualification to the quarterfinals in the first leg of their round of 16 game against Universitario, and they also qualified to the semifinals after defeating River Plate by a 5-2 scoreline. 

Palmeiras: Lineup

Coach Abel Ferreira rested some of his key players for this key encounter and only has a few injured players to worry about. Vitor Roque is the man for the moment, and Abel will be relying on his expertise to guide Palmeiras to victory. Abel Ferreira won back-to-back Copa Libertadores titles for Palmeiras in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and he will be hoping to make history with a third for himself and a fourth for the Club.

Palmeiras will be without Figueiredo, who has been out of action since March after suffering a long-term cruciate ligament injury. There are also concerns over goalkeeper Weverton, who is recovering from a hand fracture.

Player to watch out for: Jose Lopez 

24-year-old Jose Lopez is the team's current top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with a total of 7 goals in the continental competition. He is currently valued at 13M Euros, and his creativity on the ball is very valuable to the team. 

🔖Palmeiras starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Lomba – Khellven, Gómez, Murilo, Piquerez – Allan, Moreno – Raphael Veiga, Felipe Anderson, Andreas Pereira – Vitor Roque

Flamengo: form and statistics

Form in all competitions: DWLWW

Flamengo will head into this game full of momentum after their late equalizer against Atletico MG in their last league game. Bruno Henrique, who was subbed in the 46th minute, was the savior for Verdao in the dying minutes of the game. 

Flamengo settled for a goalless draw in the return leg of their Copa Libertadores semifinal after a 1-0 win in the first leg at the iconic Maracana stadium. Flamengo entirely dominated the first leg encounter and definitely should have scored more goals, but they were not clinical enough in front of the goal. The first half of that game ended in a draw, and Flamengo didn’t get the breakthrough until the 88th minute with Marcos Rojo scoring in his own net. That result reignited their hopes of claiming the Copa Libertadores again, and with just two games standing between the Mengao and another Libertadores final, the pressure and excitement are building. 

Having already lifted the trophy three times, most recently in 2022, Flamengo comes into this clash in fine form, having lost just one game in their last seven outings. They also hold a strong record against Palmeiras, remaining unbeaten in their three previous meetings. Now, they’ll be aiming to finish off an impressive campaign by adding the prestigious Copa Libertadores trophy to their trophy collection.

Flamengo had a tough time in Copa Libertadores Group C, finishing second place in a group where all three top finishers had the same number of points (11). They finished in second place, courtesy of their goal difference. They dismantled Internacional in the round of 16 by a 3-0 aggregate score, showcasing their strength. They advanced to the semifinals on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate across both legs. 

Flamengo Probable Lineup

Former Atletico-Madrid and Chelsea left-back Felipe Luis has been incredible since joining Flamengo, and he will be hoping to take his team through to the finals of the Copa Libertadores. Ayrton Lucas has been performing well, so he could keep his place in the starting eleven. Gonzalo Plata is suspended following his red card in the return leg against River Plate, while Pedro is ruled out with a thigh injury.

Player to watch out for: Giorgian De Arrascaeta

Giorgian De Arrascaeta is the team's current top scorer with a total of 15 goals in the league and two goals in the Copa Libertadores. He is currently valued at 14.5M Euros, and he is known for his high pressing and playmaking abilities. 

🔖 Flamengo starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Rossi – Danilo, Guillermo Varela, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro – Jorginho, Erick Pulgar – Luiz Araujo, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Jorge Carrascal – Bruno Henrique
