Palmeiras visits Botafogo-SP this Sunday (1/2), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at the NicNet Arena, in Ribeirão Preto-SP, for the 6th round of the Campeonato Paulista. The match will be broadcast on Record (open TV), TNT Sports (closed TV), Cazé TV (YouTube) and HBO Max (streaming).
Verdão comes from a 2-2 draw in the middle of the week with Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte, for their debut in the Brasileirão. Alviverde won four of their five matches in the State and is at the top of the table, very close to guaranteeing a place in the knockout stages.
Palmeiras lineup against Botafogo-SP
After experiencing pain in his knee, midfielder Felipe Anderson was not included in Palmeiras’ debut duel at Brasileirão 2026. As a result, the player is doubtful for the match in Ribeirão Preto.
Verdão will not have Lucas Evangelista (physical transition), Figueiredo (physical transition) and Paulinho, who remains in the final phase of recovery. Furthermore, Raphael Veiga, in advanced negotiations with América-MEX, should no longer play for Alviverde this season. For the match, Abel Ferreira will probably choose a mixed team.
Probable Palmeiras lineup: Marcelo Lomba; Giay, Bruno Fuchs, Murilo (Benedetti), Jefté; Emiliano Martínez, Andreas Pereira (Larson), Maurício; Allan, Ramón Sosa (Vitor Roque) and Flaco López. Technical: Abel Ferreira.
Probable lineup for Botafogo-SP
