Over their past half dozen clashes alone, the sum total of 20 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 17 of these belonging to Palmeiras. However, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall be sustained in this upcoming game.

🗞️ Team News: Palmeiras

Mayke (Calf injury), Bruno Rodrigues (Knee injury), Joaquín Piquerez (Knee injury), Marcelo Lomba (Inflammation of pubic bone), Gabriel Menino (Hamstring injury), Marcos Rocha (Hamstring injury) and Estêvão (Hamstring injury) will not be taking part for Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira.

We think that Verdão will possibly go for a 4-4-2 formation, utilising Weverton, Agustin Giay, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo Cerqueira, Caio Paulista, Anibal Moreno, Fabinho, Mauricio, Raphael Veiga, Felipe Anderson and Jose Lopez.

📰 Team News: Atlético Mineiro

Atlético Mineiro boss Gabriel Milito has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Matías Zaracho (Pubic bone irritation), Alisson (Hamstring injury), Renzo Saravia (Hamstring injury) and Otávio (Shoulder injury) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Galo will likely utilise a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Everson, Bruno Fuchs, R. Andres Battaglia, Junior Alonso, Rubens, Alan Franco, Fausto Vera, Igor Gomes, Gustavo Scarpa, Hulk and Deyverson.

✨ Prediction

In this game, Palmeiras have it within them to get the win and a possible clean sheet when they play Atlético Mineiro, who may well struggle to break down their defence.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 2-0 margin for Palmeiras at the end of the match.
