What They're Saying

Palmeiras manager Oswaldo Oliveira (via Futebol Interior): "The signing of players today has a range of situations that happen, and we must be careful when we talk about it. This week, I rushed in advance about the Alecsandro signing. Now, I will protect myself and I will say, 'If one day Alecsandro is with the green jersey and training with Palmeiras, I will talk about it.'"

Internacional manager Diego Aguirre (via Futnet): "Three points would be spectacular, but the tie is not bad. I think the Palmeiras are one of the teams that ultimately will be in the top positions."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Ze Roberto has been an integral part of Palmeiras' midfield thus far this campaign. In four league appearances, the 40-year-old has one goal, an assist and an average of 1.5 tackles.

Palmeiras' Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Prass; egidio, Hugo, Ramos, Lucas; Roberto, Gabriel, Arouca; Marques, Xavier, Kelvin

Internacional's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Alisson; Ernando, Juan, Costa, William; Dourado, Anderson; Alex, Valdivia; Lopez, Nilmar
