Player to watch: Raphael Veiga
With Estevao, the league’s top scorer, away on international duty, Palmeiras will call on Raphael Veiga to provide the goals. The former Athletico Paranaense midfielder has been in sensational form for the visitors, scoring six times in his last six appearances. Veiga has four direct goal involvements in his last six clashes with Bahia, so he will fancy his chances on Wednesday night.
