Palmeiras

WWWWDW 📈

Palmeiras head into this game following on from a 0-0 Copa Libertadores draw against Atlético Mineiro.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that huge efforts have been put in by the Palmeiras rearguard. Palmeiras have been miserly, seeing the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six matches standing at 4.

Atlético Mineiro

WDLLDL

The stats don’t lie, and Atlético Mineiro have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in all. At the back, Atlético Mineiro certainly have room for improvement. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

🤜🤛 Head to head

There have been a high number of draws between these two clubs. In their head to head meetings dating back to 14/08/2021, the records show 5 of these. That’s a really high 83 per cent of games finishing as draws.

An aggregate of 12 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 5 of them for Verdão and 7 netted by Galo. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.

🗞️ Team News: Palmeiras

There is just the sole fitness concern for the Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Henri (Tibia and Fibula Fracture) is out of contention.

We are thinking that Verdão could kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Weverton, Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo Cerqueira, Joaquin Piquerez, Danilo, Ze Rafael, Dudu, Raphael Veiga, Gustavo Scarpa and Roni.

ℹ️ Team News: Atlético Mineiro

Due to a fully healthy group to pick from, the Atlético Mineiro boss Cuca Stival has zero fitness concerns to report coming into this game.

From our viewpoint, Galo seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Everson, Mariano, Nathan, Junior Alonso, Guilherme Arana, Jair, Allan, Ademir Santos, Federico Zaracho, Keno and Hulk.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Atlético Mineiro will surely be able to break down this Palmeiras side, however it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 winning score for Palmeiras when all is said and done. Hopefully this is a good one.
