Abel Selects Micael, Allan, and Bruno Rodrigues for Palmeiras Match Against Vitória: Check Out the Starting Lineup

Palmeiras has announced its starting lineup for the crucial match against Vitória at Allianz Parque. The game is vital for the Brazilian Championship (Brasileirão Betano), as Palmeiras seeks to reclaim leadership with 68 points.

Surprising Changes in Starting Lineup

Head coach Abel Ferreira made several unexpected decisions regarding the team’s selection. Notably, captain Gustavo Gómez will not participate in the starting lineup. His position will be filled by Micael, who will join Murilo and Bruno Fuchs in forming the defensive trio.

Bold Tactical Adjustments

Bruno Fuchs will assume an unconventional role as a defensive midfielder, functioning as the team’s “camisa 5.” Aníbal Moreno, typically suited for this position, will start the game on the bench. This shift could impact the team’s fluidity in midfield.

Midfield and Attack Composition

In the midfield, Palmeiras features Andreas Pereira, Raphael Veiga, and Maurício, creating a robust creative line. Up front, the attack will comprise Flaco López and Bruno Rodrigues. The squad is set to showcase a blend of youth and experience.

Young Talent on the Flank

Allan, noted for his performance in the Libertadores semifinal against LDU, has been chosen to play right wing. He replaces Khellven and Giay, highlighting Ferreira’s faith in younger players during crucial matches.

Complete Starting Lineup

With these bold changes and a unique formation, Palmeiras steps onto the field under pressure to secure a victory. The outcome will determine their chance to temporarily regain the top position in the Brasileirão Betano, as Flamengo closely watches their performance against Fluminense later in the day.
