This promises to be another interesting encounter at Allianz Parque in the Serie A. Palmeiras is in 6th position and welcome Internacional in 1st place. Read all about the match here!
It's no vacation for neither Palmeiras nor Internacional as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
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 4 points here at Allianz Parque. In general it's been a long time since Palmeiras tasted defeat here at Allianz Parque, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league. Palmeiras haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Corinthians, 42 days ago.
An away draw last time out for Palmeiras, facing Bahia in a game that ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Palmeiras won a home game hosting Santos (2-1).
Zé Rafael was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Bahia after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
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 seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
Palmeiras are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Bragantino awaits in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Palmeiras at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Internacional form and stats
Internacional, who have the most scored goals (10) in Serie A, have six points from their first three away games in the Serie A, meaning two victories and a loss.
283 minutes! That's how long the Internacional goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba do Nascimento and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Internacional play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Botafogo (placed 13th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Atlético Mineiro.
We have checked recent matches where Internacional have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, three draws and four defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Bahia in just four days.
The visiting Internacional have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. It's not easy to score on Internacional as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Palmeiras, two draws and two wins for Internacional. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.Top Goalscorers
