Palmeiras vs Fluminense: look where to look, lineups, absences and referees | Brasileirão Serie A

Verdão, sixth with 31 points, comes from a good moment in the field: there are seven consecutive victories, considering Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. With Abel Ferreira on the bench, Palmeiras won three times, with five goals scored and none conceded. But the club suffers more than ten important absences due to Covid-19, squads and other injuries.

Fluminense, fifth with 32 points, were also in a good moment, but lost all eight games unbeaten on the last day, when they stumbled in Grêmio, in Maracaná. After stumbling at home, Tricolor are trying to make up lost points away from Rio de Janeiro and have a good away record: in the last four games they have won two and drawn two.

Palmeiras – coach: Abel Ferreira

Verdão has many problems to define the starting eleven due to absences. Therefore, coach Abel Ferreira can continue to improvise, with Gustavo Scarpa on the left back, or even make room for some of the new hires: defenders Alan Empereur and Benjamin Kuscevic and forward Breno. It is true that the defense, once again, will not have a starter on the field.

Ramires was fined by the board for going to a ballad and is waiting for the Covid test result to be reinstated to the cast if the test result is negative. Striker Breno did not show up, but is regularized and could get a chance.

Zé Rafael and Luiz Adriano did not go out to the Academy field last Friday. The forward is still in transition, and the midfielder depends on evolution to be able to play.

• Who is out: Danilo (Covid-19), Felipe Melo (ankle surgery), Gabriel Menino (Covid-19), Gabriel Silva (Covid-19), Gustavo Gómez (summons and suspension), Luan (Covid-19), Luan Silva (surgery knee), Luiz Adriano (transition), Matías Viña (summons and suspension), Ron (Covid-19), Wesley (knee surgery) and Weverton (summons).
• Hanging: Danilo, Gustavo Scarpa, Lucas Lima, Ramires, Rony, Wesley and Zé Rafael.

Fluminense – coach: Odair Hellmann

For the match, Odair has the return of his top scorer: Nenê, scorer of 19 goals this season, recovered from a left thigh injury. The midfielder, who also has three assists in 38 games in 2020, returns to the team after two matches knocked out.

The trend is that Nenê is the only change in the team in relation to the team that was defeated by Grêmio last Sunday. Despite criticism for the failure of Pepê’s goal, Igor Julião must remain among the headlines, as well as Wellington Silva, even with the jewel Luiz Henrique available after being called to train with the National Team earlier this week, at Granja Comary. .

• Who is out: Pacheco and Yago (with Covid-19)
• Hanging: Nenê, Igor Julião, Ganso, Nino and André
