Palmeiras form and stats

6-2-0 is the performance here at Allianz Parque so far in the Serie A, giving Palmeiras a total of 20 from their 8 games here. Outstanding results!

Palmeiras's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Fluminense (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a win away at Goiás.

The Palmeiras manager Mano Menezes has got the team scoring with 18 from 8 home games in the league. Defensively Palmeiras have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 8 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Cruzeiro form and stats

Cruzeiro have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 0-4-5 (9 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Cruzeiro failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Grêmio (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 1-4. It was a Copa do Brasil defeat before that one as the away game against Internacional wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cruzeiro as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. The Cruzeiro manager Rogério Ceni has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Palmeiras won 1, Cruzeiro won 4 and 5 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.
