Palmeiras faces the university, for the return of the round of 16, this Thursday (21/08), with probable changes in the team. The game takes place at Allianz Parque at 9:30 pm, broadcast from ESPN and Disney+.
After a 4-0 on the way, Verdon sent the classification, which will allow coach Abel Ferreira to spare some of the main players.
The recent results – beaten by Libertadores and Vitória about Botafogo by Brasileirão – helped to pacify the Palmeirense environment, which had been suffering from complaints from the fans to Abel’s work after the elimination to Corinthian in the Brazilian Cup.
Palmeiras lineup against the university
Coach Abel Ferreira can make some changes to the match, some forced by embezzlement. Paulinho, Bruno Rodrigues and Murio do not play.
Benedetti must enter Murilo’s place and allow a rest to Gustavo Gómez. Luighi and Facundo Torres should be the attack duo to allow Vitor Roque and Flaco López to rest.
Probable Palmeiras lineup: Weverton; Khellven, Benedict, Micael at the Anderson: Martin’s and Allan migration; Raphael Veiga; Ramón Sosa, Louis and Facunds. Technical: Abel Ferreira.
