Atlético-MG vs. Palmeiras: Libertadores Round of 16 – Advantage and Lineup Updates

In the first leg, Verdão won 1-0 at Mineirão and now has the advantage of playing for a draw at home. If Galo wins by a goal difference, the decision goes to penalties – the away goal is no longer a tiebreaker. The Minas Gerais team needs a victory by two or more goals difference to advance in normal time.

Verdão lost on Saturday to Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship and ended a sequence of three consecutive victories. But Abel Ferreira spared practically all the starters in the weekend’s game: only Weverton and Gustavo Gómez started the duel at Maracanã.

Atlético-MG, on the other hand, comes from a victory against São Paulo, in the Brasileirão, by 2 to 0. The result ended the fast of ten games without winning and gave Galo the first victory in the Felipão era. The coach did not spare the team in the Brazilian Championship and, this Wednesday, Everson will return, who was suspended.

Palmeiras – Technician: Abel Ferreira

Abel will have virtually the entire squad available for this Wednesday’s game. The exception is still Atuesta, who underwent knee surgery.

Piquerez, Zé Rafael, Raphael Veiga and Dudu didn’t even travel to Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, at the weekend, thinking about the reunion with Atlético-MG. Mayke, Gabriel Menino, Artur and Rony entered only in the second half, with controlled minutes.

The expectation is that the Portuguese coach will repeat the team that won the first leg.

Probable lineup: Weverton; Mayke, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Piquerez; Zé Rafael, Gabriel Menino and Raphael Veiga; Arthur, Dudu and Ron.

Who’s out: Atuesta (ligamentous knee injury).

Atlético-MG – Coach: Luiz Felipe Scolari

Scolari will have the return of Everson, suspended against São Paulo. Zaracho is still out with the thigh injury. There is doubt about who enters the midfield. Hyoran, Igor Gomes and Patrick fight for the position. In the rest, Felipão will repeat the team he sent to the field on Sunday.

Probable lineup: Everson, Saravia, Jemerson and Igor Rabello, Arana; Battaglia, Otávio, Igor Gomes (Hyoran or Patrick), Paulinho, Pavón and Hulk.

Who’s out: Zaracho (injury on the back of the thigh)
