Palmeiras will invite Gremio to Allianz Parque in the Brazilian Serie A on Saturday. The hosts are third in the standings with 29 points, five fewer than league leaders Cruzeiro. They have two games in hand. Tricolor dos Pampas have won four of their 14 league games and are in 14th place in the league table with 17 points.
Verdão have resumed their league campaign after their appearance in the FIFA Club World Cup on a three-game unbeaten run. They made it two wins in a row earlier this week, with a 2-1 away triumph over Fluminense. Maurício equalized late in the first half, and Vitor Roque's 62nd-minute strike helped them register a comeback win.
The visitors have seen a drop in form and are winless in their last four games in all competitions. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Vasco da Gama in Serie A last week and played another 1-1 draw in the Copa Sudamericana knockout phase playoffs earlier this week against Alianza Lima. They were eliminated after losing 3-1 on aggregate.
