The case for your time
Second-placed Palmeiras, three points behind leaders Flamengo, welcome 19th-placed Remo to Allianz Parque in a game with very different stakes. Remo need points to escape the relegation zone, and Abel Ferreira may rotate with a Copa do Brasil semi-final return leg coming on Sunday.
Palmeiras' central striker could lead the line against a Remo defence under pressure, and Sosa's and Paulinho's absences leave attacking options thinner.
His creativity between the lines can unlock a deep Remo block, and he is a key supply route if Palmeiras rotate.
Remo's top league scorer with nine goals, he scored against Botafogo and is their main threat on the counterattack.
A midfielder who can dictate tempo and deliver the final pass against a side likely to defend deep.
Confirmed XIs usually land about an hour before kickoff.
