Palmeiras welcome Cuiaba to Allianz Paque for a Brasileirao Serie A matchday 24 fixture on Saturday (August 24th). The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw against Botafogo at the same venue in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores round-of-16 tie.
All four goals were scored in the second half, with Igor da Cruz and Jefferson Savarino scoring to put the visitors two goals up by the 64th minute. Flaco Lopez and Rony scored to draw the game level but it was not enough as they were eliminated 4-3 on aggregate.
