Palmeiras will likely rely on their attacking options, including Vitor Roque and J. López. Bahia's squad features experienced defenders and creative midfielders like Éverton Ribeiro, with injuries likely minimal for this fixture.

If Bahia scores first or takes a lead at halftime, expect Palmeiras to respond strongly, given their recent form and head-to-head dominance.
