Grêmio and Palmeiras announce line-ups for southern clash 📋

Grêmio and Palmeiras are set for the clash this Tuesday (25th), at 9:30 PM, at Arena do Grêmio, for the 36th round of the Brasileirão.

Grêmio (12th place, with 43 points) is trying to eliminate any risk of relegation, secure a spot in the Sudamericana, and even keep alive the dream of a possible G-8 finish.

Palmeiras (runner-up with 70 points), on the other hand, wants to get closer to Flamengo (74) and – even with a VERY alternative lineup – gain momentum for the Libertadores final.

If Palmeiras LOSES this Tuesday (25th), Flamengo only needs to beat Galo in Minas Gerais to be crowned champions ahead of time.

Globo (for RS and SP) and Premiere will broadcast the match. And you can check out the main live updates in the card above.

Grêmio Lineup

Grêmio has a huge list of absentees. Gustavo Martins and Noriega, both suspended, are the latest additions to coach Mano Menezes’ list of unavailable players.

The medical department also includes Albuena, Rodrigo Ely, Cristian Olivera, Monsalve, João Pedro, Braithwaite, and Villasanti, in addition to Noriega himself (suspended and injured).

On the other hand, Arthur and Amuzu return after being rested.

With that, there are SIX changes compared to the 3-2 defeat to Botafogo.

Tiago Volpi, Marcos Rocha, Wagner Leonardo, Kannemann, and Marlon; Dodi, Arthur, and Edenilson; Pavón, Amuzu, and Carlos Vinicius.

Palmeiras Lineup

As expected, Palmeiras will have a VERY DIFFERENT lineup.

The starters are not even on the bench, focused on the Libertadores final against Flamengo, at 6 PM on Saturday (29th), in Peru.

With that, coach Abel Ferreira gives opportunities to names like Benedetti, Jefté, Sosa, and Facundo Torres.

Marcelo Lomba; Giay, Benedetti, Micael, and Jefté; Aníbal Moreno, Emiliano Martínez, and Mauricio; Felipe Anderson; Sosa, and Facundo Torres.
