Palmeiras
WLWWWW 📈
Palmeiras will be looking for another win after a 1-0 Serie A success vs São Paulo.
In that game, Palmeiras managed 57% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Palmeiras was Vitor Roque (95'). São Paulo got 6 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that there has been much resilience in the Palmeiras backline. Palmeiras have been stingy, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their previous 6 outings standing at 4. We will just have to see if that trend can be continued on here.
