Palmeiras 🐷

The Verdão boasts a sequence of six consecutive victories - starting precisely in the first leg match against tonight's opponent.

It's the only team with a 100% record in the Libertadores and has taken the lead in the Brasileirão.

Abel Ferreira has Vitor Roque back - he was out for personal reasons - and Micael, who has recovered from an injury.

Paulinho is also back after being preserved to carry out an individual physical preparation schedule.

Ceará ⚫⚪

The Vozão comes from a positive result in the Brasileirão and is having a great campaign: it's the current fifth-placed team.

The mission will be to win again as a visitor outside their state.

There have been three defeats and two draws in the last five games.

Pedro Raul trained after leaving the game against Sport with a twisted ankle. And he starts.

The novelty among the related players is the presence of goalkeeper Bruno Ferreira, who has recovered from an injury.
