Insights:
  • Palmeiras have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Palmeiras form and stats

Palmeiras have performed here at Allianz Parque this season with 8 wins from 12 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. Palmeiras has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Ferreira and the players.

The Palmeiras fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Allianz Parque: A 1-2 defeat against Santos (placed 14th). Palmeiras's goalkeeper Weverton was extremely busy against Santos, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves.

A 1-1 scoreline against Boca Juniors (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) before that one, played at their own home stadium in the Copa Libertadores. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Palmeiras have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 0 times, drawn 4 and lost 0.

There will be little rest for Palmeiras after this match as they are travelling to Coritiba for a Serie A game in only three days.

A decent goal production from Palmeiras in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 12 league matches. From these home matches, Palmeiras have conceded only 10 goals.

Atlético Mineiro form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) away in Serie A, on their Serie A travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Atlético Mineiro have much to play for after their surprise defeat (1-2) to Coritiba in their previous game, played at home. That defeat was their first after five consecutive league rounds winning points. Atlético Mineiro were so close to getting something from the game against Coritiba, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime. Midfielder Paulinho was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.71. Paulinho hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 35 successful passes (of 43 total).

Preceding that game was the away victory against Internacional with the score of 2-0.

We have checked recent matches where Atlético have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 4 games were 1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

Lacking goals? 11 of this team's last 13 league rounds have contained two or less goals.

After this away game Atlético Mineiro return home for a Serie A game against Cruzeiro. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visiting Atlético Mineiro have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 13 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).

Head 2 Head

Palmeiras have managed a streak of 10 consecutive matches without losing (2-8-0) when playing Atlético Mineiro.

Atlético Mineiro - Palmeiras 1-1 was the end result in these contenders' previous h2h game, earlier this season.
