A key match in Serie A as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Palmeiras in 6th position and Fluminense placed 5th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa do Brasil. This match was also played here at Allianz Parque. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Fluminense have had more rest.
Palmeiras form and stats
Palmeiras have played 9 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Nothing to worry about in defence for Palmeiras, as their goalkeeper Weverton Pereira da Silva has completely shut out the opponents for 319 minutes in the Serie A.
A nice win for Palmeiras last time playing, versus Ceará. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Gabriel Veron, Gustavo Scarpa and Raphael Veiga scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Vasco da Gama.
Palmeiras decided the match against Ceará in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Palmeiras matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and zero defeats (from three games).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Palmeiras as they are travelling to their away game against Ceará in the Copa do Brasil. That match is four days after this one.
