Palmeiras lineup
Palmeiras has a series of problems for the game against Bahia. Mayke, Richard Ríos and Estêvão, suspended, will not be able to play in the match. Gustavo Gómez, called up by Paraguay, would also be absent from the match, but president Leila Pereira sent a plane to pick up the defender and have him in the match.
As a result, Vitor Reis should be a starter in defense. Marcos Rocha will play on the right flank and Felipe Anderson and Dudu will compete for the position in attack. In midfield, Zé Rafael will be in the starting eleven.
Palmeiras lineup: Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Caio Paulista; Aníbal Moreno, Zé Rafael and Mauricio; Raphael Veiga, Felipe Anderson (Dudu) and Rony (Flaco López). Technical: Abel Ferreira.
