Palmeiras, from São Paulo, face Estudiantes de La Plata, from Argentina. Kickoff is 17:00 Brasília time, which is 3pm Eastern.

Flamengo and Palmeiras lead the Brazilian title chase
Football
Band reported on 6 November that Flamengo and Palmeiras both won in round 34 of the Brasileirão, Brazil’s top league. Palmeiras scored a heavy win, which made headlines.
The two rivals are due to meet in round 36. A Soccerway report gives different dates for rounds 34 to 36, so the exact calendar needs checking against the CBF, Brazil’s football federation.
Palmeiras are also in the Libertadores final. The league and the continental cup now compete for the same squad.
In short — Flamengo and Palmeiras look the title contenders, though round dates are still being checked.
