Palmeiras will entertain Internacional at Allianz Parque in the Brazilian Serie A on Saturday. Verdão are third in the league standings and have a 16-point lead over the visitors.
The hosts have been in good touch recently and are unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions. They met Corinthians in their previous league outing before the international break and were held to a 1-1 draw. Vitor Roque gave them the lead in the 14th minute from the penalty spot, while an own goal from Joaquín Piquerez pulled Corinthians level in the 26th minute.
Colorado returned to winning ways after four games in their previous outing with a 2-1 home triumph over Fortaleza. Alan Patrick was on the scoresheet in the first half and assisted Vitinho's second-half strike.
