Palmeiras (1st)
Palmeiras’s domestic run took a hit in their last league game against Flamengo, which ended in a 2-0 loss. Before this defeat to Flamengo, the last time they lost was to Bahia late last month. That defeat to Flamengo highlighted some vulnerabilities that Abel Ferreira will be hoping to cover up before their Libertadores game against Sporting Cristal. In the Série A, the Paulistas currently top the league table and they now have 22 points, with 7 wins, a draw, and 2 losses as they remain solid at the top of the table.
In the Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras have a perfect record, and they have won all five games they’ve played so far, scoring 11 goals and conceding just four. They’ve already clinched the first place in Group G, and as such they Abel Ferrara may rotate his squad and let other players also get a taste of the cake on Thursday. However, one thing is sure, Palmeiras must win this game and complete their flawless record in Group G of the Copa Libertadores. Their last game in the Copa Libertadores was against Bolivar, and they dominated the game and won by two goals to nil.
Palmeiras: Lineup
Abel Ferreira still has various injured players to worry about, but he still has one of the best squads in Brazil at the moment, with a perfect blend of emerging talents and top guys. His squad depth has been an added advantage to his success so far in the competition, and he can rotate his squad without suffering for it. Vitor Roque will come off the bench.
🔖Palmeiras starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Weverton – Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs, Marcos Rocha– Ríos, Martínez– Estêvão, Torres, Raphael Veiga– Jose Lopez
👤Head Coach: Abel Ferreira

Sporting Cristal (3rd)
Sporting Cristal finally lost a league game after three consecutive league victories. The defeat came in their last league game against Universitario. Sporting Cristal was outclassed in that game, but we can see that manager Autuori Paulo rested some key players ahead of the clash against Brazilian giants, Palmeiras. They are currently 8th in their league standing and have recorded 7 wins, a draw, and 5 losses from the 13 league games they’ve played this season.
In the Copa Libertadores, Sporting Cristal is faced with a near-impossible task of reaching the knockout rounds. They are behind second-placed Cerro Porteno by three points, and they need a four-goal advantage, alongside a Cerro Porteno loss to Bolivar, to advance to the knockout rounds. This is almost impossible, but Sporting Cristal will take their chances. Sporting Cristal might make it to the Copa Sudamericana if they can’t make the Libertadores, but it’s not just in their hands; it also depends on the result of Bolivar and Cerro Porteno.
Sporting Cristal: Probable Lineup
Coach Autuori Paulo favours the use of the 4-3-3 formation in which has given an average response for the team. A few changes to the squad, I believe Cauteruccio will find his way to the first team, Paulo Autuori needs his experience for this game.
🔖 Expected lineup ( 4-3-3):
Enriquez Diego (G), Leandro Sosa, Romero, Lutiger Rafael, Pasquini Nicolas, — Castro Maxloren, Tavara Gerald, Pretell Jesus, — Gonzales Christofer, Martin Cauteruccio, Avila Irven (C)
👤 Head Coach: Autuori Paulo
