Palmeiras form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Palmeiras's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Allianz Parque.

The Palmeiras goalkeeper Weverton Pereira da Silva is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 212 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie A.

Palmeiras are returning here after guesting Independiente Petrolero in a Copa Libertadores match and winning with a 5-0 scoreline. Midfield player Veiga got a match rating of 9.73 in that game, the max score being 10. Veiga scored three goals and hit six key passes.

There will be little rest for Palmeiras after this match as they are travelling to Juazeirense for a Copa do Brasil game in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Palmeiras at home in the league. 5 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Fluminense form and stats

The regulars enjoyed Fluminense's previous match versus Junior FC, a Copa Sudamericana win (2-1) played at home.

A 2-3 defeat away at Coritiba before that.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Copa do Brasil trip to Vila Nova.

It's early days yet, but Fluminense has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
