Match Preview: What’s at Stake?
Palmeiras and Fluminense meet in an all-Brazilian Copa Libertadores semifinal, with a place in the November 28 final in Montevideo, Uruguay, on the line. Palmeiras won the first leg 2-1 at the Maracana on October 14, giving them a narrow advantage heading into the return match at home.

That result puts Palmeiras in control of the tie: a win or draw will send them through to the final. Fluminense, meanwhile, must win by two or more goals to advance outright. A one-goal victory for Fluminense would level the aggregate score and send the semifinal to a penalty shootout, as the away-goals rule does not apply.
Palmeiras will look to make home advantage count and protect their lead, while Fluminense need a more productive attacking performance to keep their continental campaign alive.
With the teams separated by just one goal, the opening stages could be crucial: Palmeiras can force Fluminense to take risks, while the visitors must balance their need to attack with the danger of conceding another goal.
The winner will advance to the Copa Libertadores final on November 28 at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. Since Palmeiras and Fluminense are on the same side of the bracket, they cannot meet again in the final.
