Palmeiras vs Corinthians: Where to watch live, schedule and line-up | Brazilian series a

With a win and a draw after two rounds, Palmeiras seeks to stay in the front line of the Brazilian championship. In the middle of the week, Verdao saved several title holders in the Copa do Brasil match, thinking about the sequence in which the derby will go and also a trip to Ecuador in a commitment to CONMEBOL Libertadores next week, against Barcelona.

For tonight’s match, Abel Ferreira should once again have some injured players, such as Rooney and Rafael Vega. Marcos Rocha, on the other hand, left the last match hurt and should miss.

Corinthians, on the other hand, are going through a turbulent moment, even with the Round of 16 qualifiers from the Copa do Brasil going into the middle of the week. After Koca’s departure, former player Danilo, now coach of the under-20 team, will lead Timão on an interim basis. Alvinegra’s board of directors continues to search for a new coach.

In Brazil, Corinthians are in the middle of the table, having beaten Cruzeiro on their debut, only to lose to Goias in the second round.

Palmeiras has not lost a derby since September 2021, with three wins in the last four encounters.

The Palmeiras boss got important options for Derby. Forward Rooney, winger Maiky and midfielder Rafael Vega have all recovered from injury and can be used tonight. He played the first two for a few minutes against Tombense, in the middle of the week, while Veiga returns specifically for Saturday’s game.

Without Marcos Rocha, who is recovering from a hip injury he picked up in the middle of the week, the tendency is for Mikey to be the starting right side. Rooney should also start the match among the starters, while Rafael Vega could start as an option on the bench.

In the middle of the week, Dudu, Ze Rafael and Gustavo Gomez returned to the team.

Those abroad: Atoista (knee ligament injury); Marcos Rocha (groin injury) and Bruno Tabata (body transfer).

Timao has doubts about the lineup. Danilo was chosen as a caretaker, and only ordered to train on the eve of the Derby. He is tipped to maintain the foundation of the team that beat Remo 2-0 on Wednesday.

Wagner, Bruno Mendes and Edson left the last game hurting, but only Mendes would miss the game. It wasn’t even related to the classics.

Those abroad: Pedro (ankle injury), Renato Augusto (recovering from knee arthroscopy) and Bruno Mendes (load control).
