📋 Team News: Palmeiras
Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira has not got a full squad to pick from. Figueiredo (Cruciate ligament injury), Paulinho (Shin injury), Lucas Evangelista (Hamstring injury) and Weverton (Finger injury) can’t be considered.
It’s our belief that Verdão might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Murilo Cerqueira, Micael, Jefte, Bruno Fuchs, Anibal Moreno, Raphael Veiga, Mauricio, Felipe Anderson and Bruno Rodrigues.
⚡ Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Santos will have their work cut out to register a score against this Palmeiras lineup who we reckon will get the vital goal that wins it.
We’re going for a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Palmeiras at full-time.
