Palmeiras 🟢⚪

Verdão has seven points and started the round in the lead due to a superior goal difference.

The team comes in on a high after qualifying for the Paulista semifinals and with an increasingly strong squad.

Jhon Arias starts on the bench, but is expected to get more minutes in his reunion with the club where he made history in Brazilian football.

Only Paulinho—recovering from surgery—and Emi Martínez, with pain in his left calf, are out.

Fluminense 🇭🇺

Tricolor has the same seven points as their soon-to-be opponent, but started the day in third due to an inferior goal difference. 

The moment is more than positive. There have been eight wins and one draw since the main squad started playing.

Zubeldía will not have Cannobio, who is suspended.

Savarino was expected to be in the starting eleven, which has been confirmed.

Nonato is out once again after a right thigh injury.

Cano has recovered, but is out again due to the synthetic pitch. 

Ganso will play as a false 9.

Guga, Ignácio, and Arana are also new additions.
