Palmeiras may have changes in two sectors against LDU; see options

Palmeiras may have changes in defense and midfield to face LDU tomorrow at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadium in Quito for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals. What happened The defender Bruno Fuchs is not guaranteed as a starter. The player started in the last three games, but made mistakes in two goals against Flamengo. Murilo could return to the team. The midfield sector may also undergo changes. Against Flamengo, Aníbal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, Maurício, and Felipe Anderson played, but when Abel was the away team during the knockout stage, the team did not perform in the same way. Against Universitario, the midfield duo consisted of Lucas Evangelista and Emiliano Martínez, and against River Plate in Argentina, Aníbal and Evangelista played with Andreas in a more advanced position. Without Evangelista (injured), Abel may opt for a midfield duo with Aníbal Moreno and Emiliano Martínez, and Andreas playing further forward (which worked against River). Another option is to use Andreas as a box-to-box midfielder and strengthen the defense in the corridor with Allan on the right side — where LDU likes to play. A probable Palmeiras lineup includes: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo (Bruno Fuchs), and Piquerez; Aníbal Moreno, Emiliano Martínez (Allan), Andreas Pereira, and Felipe Anderson; Flaco López and Vítor Roque.
