📋 Palmeiras line-up to face Atlético-MG, aiming to stay alive in the BR

After the disappointment of finishing second in the Libertadores, Palmeiras turns its attention to the Brasileirão, where it faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (3rd) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 37th round.

Verdão occupies second place with 70 points and needs to win while hoping for Flamengo (75 points) to slip up in order to keep dreaming of the title.

Meanwhile, Galo, with 45 points in 13th place, has a "double mission": to win to eliminate any risk of relegation and also try to snatch a spot in the next edition of the Libertadores through a hypothetical G-8.

For that to happen, Cruzeiro or Fluminense need to win the Copa do Brasil and finish in the top 5 of the Brasileirão.

Raposa faces Corinthians in the semifinals of the tournament, while Tricolor Carioca plays a classic against Vasco.

Compared to the last match (1-0 for Fortaleza), coach Jorge Sampaoli opted to start Saravia, Scarpa, and Rony in place of Alexsander, Bernard, and Hulk, respectively, for Atlético-MG.

As for Palmeiras, coming off a 1-0 loss to Flamengo in the Libertadores final, coach Abel Ferreira chose only to put Emiliano Martínez in place of Bruno Fuchs.
