Part 2/7:
Palmeiras: Adjusting and Improving
As they get ready for this Derby, Palmeiras is in a phase of adjustment under coach Abel Ferreira. Despite the successful outing against Guarani, there are still concerns with the starting lineup, especially in the attack. Ferreira has recently experimented with different offensive formations to enhance creativity, moving away from a traditional fixed-center forward setup. Piquerez, expected to play a key role, adds depth and skill, having previously played alongside Facundo Torres at Peñarol.
The left flank has been a significant issue for Palmeiras in the past, highlighted during the previous season where they struggled to find effective combinations. However, with Piquerez and Torres on the field, the team aims to set up a more balanced attack.
