Guaraní and Palmeiras get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Guaraní and Palmeiras.

Palmeiras have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Palmeiras form and stats

They also participated in Copa Libertadores last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.

Palmeiras's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Palmeiras collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the Serie A. 3 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 3W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Things are running smoothly for Palmeiras who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 15 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Corinthians. Palmeiras are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

Palmeiras has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Guaraní for a Copa Libertadores game that ended a draw (0-0). A 1-1 draw at Grêmio's stadium before that.

Palmeiras are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 6 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Palmeiras as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Guaraní - Palmeiras 0-0. Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Guaraní, one draw and one win for Palmeiras. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
