This final will be a single match, a format established since 2019. If the score remains level after 90 minutes, the game will enter extra time, and, if necessary, proceed to penalties.
Palmeiras’ Journey ⚪🟢
Palmeiras dominated Group G, finishing with a perfect record. They triumphed over Universitario (the host club for the final), River Plate, and LDU in the knockout stage.
For the final, coach Abel Ferreira is expected to be without midfielder Lucas Evangelista and forward Paulinho, both of whom are recovering from surgery.
Weverton is nearing the end of his recovery from a hand injury but has not played since October 15. If he regains fitness, he will likely start on the bench, with Carlos Miguel taking the goalkeeping duties.
The probable lineup for Palmeiras includes: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo GĂłmez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Bruno Fuchs, Andreas Pereira, and Raphael Veiga; Allan, Flaco LĂłpez, and Vitor Roque.
