Palmeiras and Fortaleza enter the field this Wednesday, at 9:30 pm (Brasilia time), at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo, in a game valid for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Tonight’s match could seal Palmeiras’ anticipated title. For that, Verdão needs to beat Fortaleza, without depending on other results of the round. If Internacional does not defeat América-MG, in a game scheduled for 16:00, Palmeiras will enter the field already champion.
Isolated leader since the tenth round, Palmeiras seeks to confirm what will be the 11th Brazilian title. With 74 points, Verdão has a campaign of 21 victories, 11 draws and only two defeats. There are 19 games without defeat, with Abel Ferreira’s team having the best attack and the best defense of the competition.
With no embezzlement, Abel Ferreira has only one doubt to define the starting lineup: Mayke or Endrick. The 16-year-old has been having good performances and could be the novelty in the attack alongside Dudu and Rony. Improvised and starter in the last rounds, the side can lose the position.
As home team, Palmeiras has the second best campaign in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship. Of the 51 points he played as column one, he won 37 (11 wins, four draws and two defeats). He scored 33 goals and had his defense leaked on 11 occasions.
Fortaleza has 48 points and a chance of reaching a spot in the Libertadores. The team has a remarkable campaign in the return with 10 wins, three draws and two defeats.
Just like Palmeiras, Tricolor also doesn’t have any absences for the game soon. He just can’t count on Lucas Lima for contractual reasons. Sasha becomes available again.
As a visitor, Pici’s Tricolor performs a little better. It appears in seventh position in the ranking of this item in the Brasileirão. Of the 51 points he played as column two, he won 23 (seven wins, two draws and eight defeats). Scored 20 goals and conceded 22
