Palmeiras at the Maracanã tonight, gap at four
Kickoff 21:00 BRT; Pulgar and Plata back in the squad, Arrascaeta and Cebolinha still out, and Danilo serving a Brasileirão ban.
Kickoff at the Maracanã 21:00 BRT, Pulgar and Plata back in the squad after training in full, with Arrascaeta (clavicle), Cebolinha (hip) and Danilo (Brasileirão ban from the Athletico red) all out. We sit second on 31 from 15, Palmeiras four clear on 35 from 16, and a win cuts the gap to one with games level. Four changes are expected from the Estudiantes XI, the laterals and attack the likely tweaks. Five wins and only two losses in our last ten meetings against them.
