Palmeiras will welcome Deportivo Pereira to the Allianz Parque in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals on Wednesday.

The two teams met in Colombia last week in the first leg. Palmeiras recorded a comfortable 4-0 win to take a huge lead on aggregate. Raphael Veiga, Marcos Rocha, and Mayke scored within 11 minutes in the first half while Rony added the fourth goal in the 82nd minute.

The hosts continued in winning ways in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday with a 1-0 home win over Vasco da Gama with Raphael Veiga scoring the only goal of the match.

The visitors had their league game postponed and head into the second leg with a week's rest. They need to overturn a four-goal deficit to secure a place in the next round, though they have not scored more than two goals in a Libertadores match this season.
