Team News

Flamengo
Palmeiras
  • Speedy attacker Paulinho serves a suspension here.
  • He will be replaced by Paolo Guerrero, who returns from a ban.
  • The rest of the XI isn't likely to change much from the loss to Atlético-PR.
  • Many of Palmeiras' Copa do Brasil heroes could be given a night off.
  • That should mean starts for Allione, Alecsandro and others.
  • Cleiton Xavier could also play after injury.

Prediction

  • Palmeiras' meandering season was rescued in sensational style on Wednesday night.
  • The Verdão won the second leg of their Brazilian Cup final against Santos and took the trophy after a dramatic penalty shootout.
  • That means a Libertadores place is secured for next term - and that they won't care one jot about this game.
