Palmeiras will host Gremio at the Allianz Parque on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side are in fine form at the moment, as they continue their push to reclaim the Serie A title and sit third in the league table, five points off the top with two games in hand.
They picked up a 2-1 comeback win away at Fluminense last time out, with Mauricio heading home the equalizer late in the first half before former Barcelona man Vitor Roque netted the game-winner in the second to end his 11-game goal drought.
Gremio, meanwhile, have struggled for results in recent games and have work to do if they are to return to the continental spots in the table. They played out a 1-1 draw against Vasco da Gama in their last league outing, with Gustavo Martins scoring a late equalizer before crashing out of the Copa Sudamericana on Thursday after losing 3-1 on aggregate to Peruvian side Allianza Lima.
The visitors sit 14th in the table with just 17 points and will be looking for an unlikely result when they hit the road this weekend.
