X M4 and
Verdão arrives after two consecutive defeats at Brasileirão and saw Flamengo take the lead. Com 68 points, the Abel Ferreira team occupies second place and has no room for further stumbles. Já and Rubro-Negro from Bahia only have one point in the last five games and, if they don’t win, they practically seal their presence in the Z-4 at the end of the round.

Situation of teams in the table
Palmeiras is under pressure after losing the lead it held for several rounds. The defeat against Corinthians and the setback against Cruzeiro saw the team drop to 68 points, two less than the new leader Flamengo. Uma simple victory puts Verdão back at the top, while any different result practically hands the title to its rival from Rio with two rounds to spare.
On the other hand, Vitória is going through its worst streak of the season. The hard-fought draw at home against Botafogo in the last round kept the team in 17th place, with 35 points. The distance to the first team outside the Z-4, the Cruzeiro, is already four points. Matematicamente is still possible to escape, but a defeat at Allianz Parque makes relegation a matter of time.
Palmeiras probable lineup
Abel Ferreira has the return of several athletes who were serving their respective teams. Gómez, Piquerez, Vitor Roque, Facundo Torres, Emiliano Martínez and José Manuel Sosa disembark at São Paulo only this Wednesday morning and undergo physical evaluation.

Vitória probable lineup
Jair Ventura gains important options for the confrontation. Camutanga, Edu, Baralhas and Dudu return from suspension or recovery and reinforce the squad. Raúl Cáceres traveled with the delegation and may reappear. No attack, Renzo López and Renato Kayzer fight for the reference spot.
The likely Vitória lineup is:
- Thiago Couto

Arbitration and recent history
Lucas Paulo Torezin, from Paraná, referees the game at Allianz Parque. Ele will be assisted by Guilherme Dias Camilo (MG) and Thiaggo Americano Labes (SC). No VAR, the control is with Rodolpho Toski Marques (PR). Torezin has a high average number of yellow cards and tends to be strict when it comes to physical contact.
In the last five direct confrontations, Palmeiras has a wide advantage:
- Palmeiras 3 x 1 Vitória (Brasileirão 2024 – 1st round)
- Palmeiras 2 x 0 Vitória (Brasil Cup 2023)
- Victory 1 x 0 Palmeiras (Brasileirão 2021)
- Palmeiras 3 x 0 Vitória (Brasileirão 2021)
- Palmeiras 4 x 1 Vitória (Brasileirão 2018)
The Verdão has not lost to the Vitória at home since 2009.

Weather forecast and structure of Allianz Parque
The night in São Paulo should have an average temperature of 21°C, with the possibility of isolated showers at the start of the match. The Allianz Parque lawn underwent maintenance during the week and is in ideal condition. 38,000 Cerca tickets have already been sold, and the shipment is expected to be exhausted by the start of the game.
Predictions from the main bookmakers point to clear favoritism for Palmeiras, with average odds of 1.25 for an Alviverde victory, 6.00 for a draw and 11.00 for an Vitória triumph. The market for goals above 2.5 also appears to be a strong trend.
