Palmeiras form and stats

Last season, Palmeiras's Copa Libertadores journey ended in the finals.

10 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Palmeiras have to build on here at Estadio Centenario in the Serie A. This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in this competition.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Palmeiras, who played 2-2 against Atletico Mineiro. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio Centenario). A painful moment in the game against Atletico Mineiro was the missed penalty kick from Patrick de Paula in the 56th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Midfielder Wesley was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.41 (out of ten) in that game. Wesley scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Fortaleza in the Serie A.

Palmeiras are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Cuiaba awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Palmeiras in their home games so far, with 32 goals from 18 league matches. Palmeiras's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 26 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Flamengo form and stats

Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the 8th finals.

Playing away, Flamengo have won 8 games, drawn 6 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie A this season. When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 9W-3D-0L. This is both home and away.

Flamengo has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Gremio for a Serie A game that ended a draw (2-2). It looked so good for Flamengo vs Gremio, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Midfield player Vitinho was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.95/10. Vitinho scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Internacional at their stadium, the result 2-1.

A quick return to home after this game, as Flamengo are hosting Ceara in the Serie A only three days away.

The Flamengo manager R. Portaluppi has got the team scoring on the road, with 37 away goals in 17 league matches. Flamengo have conceded 18 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - four - five (Palmeiras wins - draws - Flamengo wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
