Palmeiras has gone 3 years without winning Libertadores knockout games at home

Palmeiras faces River Plate today at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque, aiming not only to secure a spot in the Libertadores semifinals but also to end a streak that has lasted for over three years. The last time Palmeiras won a knockout match at home in the Libertadores was back in July 2022 when they beat Cerro Porteño 5-0 in the round of 16 second leg. Since then, they have had seven draws, with four qualifications and three eliminations, including exits against Botafogo (2024 round of 16), Boca Juniors (2023 semifinals), and Athletico (2022 semifinals).
