Palmeiras and Santos are preparing for Sunday’s classic, at the Arena Barueri, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The two teams will take to the field with the news regarding the latest matches.
Coach Abel Ferreira chose Verdão with striker Endrick as the starter. In this way, Mayke was moved to the right flank and Marcos Rocha became an option on the bench. Artur also leaves the starting position and gives way to Kevin.
The Palmeiras team, therefore, will take the field with the following formation: Weverton; Mayke, Gómez, Murillo and Piquerez; Gabriel Menino, Zé Rafael and Raphael Veiga; Kevin, Endrick and Ron.

The Alviverde team tries to put behind them the elimination against Boca Juniors, in the semifinal of the Libertadores, last Thursday. The team will seek a place in the next edition of the continental tournament via the Brasileirão. To do so, they must be in the top four of the tournament.
Verdão currently occupies fourth place in the standings, with 44 points scored. With eight points behind leaders Botafogo, the fight for the national title is increasingly distant.
Santos, on the other hand, arrives excited after two consecutive victories obtained in the midst of the fight against relegation. The team is currently in Z4, with 27 points, but can get out of the relegation zone with a simple draw.
Peixe has not yet lost under the command of Marcelo Fernandes, but has important losses for the classic. Suspended, Dodô, Lucas Lima, Soteldo and Rodrigo Fernández are unavailable. For this reason the Juventus team is forced to make three changes: Messias, Nonato and Alfredo Morelos, who makes his debut as a starter.
Santos is lined up with: John Paul; Joaquim, Messias and João Basso; Lucas Braga, Tomás Rincón, Jean Lucas, Nonato and Kevyson; Morelos and Marcos Leonardo.
