  • Palmeiras have the most matches over the total-line (19) in Serie A

There have been limited time to rest for the team playing at home, as they had a Serie A match only three days ago. This match was also played here at Arena da Baixada. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Palmeiras have had more rest.

Relegation threatens Athletico who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Palmeiras most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Athletico PR form and stats

8 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Athletico PR have to build on here at Arena da Baixada in the Serie A.

A nice win for Athletico last time playing, versus Cuiaba. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Pedro Rocha scoring for the victors. Pedro Henrique was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.15 out of 10. The defender Henrique hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Corinthians (0-1).

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 Athletico PR have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eleven times, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Athletico as they are travelling to their away game against Sport Recife in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

The Athletico fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 18 matches. Athletico's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 21 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Palmeiras form and stats

Playing away, Palmeiras have won 9 games, drawn 2 and suffered 7 defeats in the Serie A this season.

It's the second away game in a row for Palmeiras, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Cuiaba (placed 16th) in the Serie A last time out. Palmeiras goalie Vinicius Silvestre was high and low in the Cuiaba game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Michel was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.85. The defender Michel hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Flamengo (after extra-time) in the Copa Libertadores.

Palmeiras are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.

A new game in only three days for Palmeiras, the Serie A home match versus Ceara. Busy days.

The visiting Palmeiras have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 25 goals from 18 games. It's not easy to score on Palmeiras as they have only conceded 17 goals from these away games.
