Palestino
WDLWWL
Palestino won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 1-0 Campeonato Nacional defeat in their last game at the hands of O'Higgins.
Their most recent results show that quality has been evident in the Palestino backline. Palestino have been mean at the back, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past six games standing at 4. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Cruzeiro
LLLDWL
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Red Bull Bragantino in Serie A competition, Cruzeiro will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Cruzeiro managed 58% possession and 12 shots at goal with 4 on target. Red Bull Bragantino got 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Jhon Jhon (15') was the scorer for Red Bull Bragantino.
The stats don’t lie, and Cruzeiro have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals overall. In defence, Cruzeiro have clearly had some problems.

Team News: Cruzeiro
Cruzeiro manager Leonardo Jardim has to contend with a number of unavailable players. João Marcelo (Torn knee ligaments), Matheus Henrique (Meniscus injury), Japa (Inflammation of the biceps tendon in the thigh) and Yannick Bolasie (Knock) are not able to play.
🔮
Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Palestino will do well to register a score against this Cruzeiro side who we think will likely emerge victorious.
We’re therefore predicting a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Cruzeiro after 90 minutes.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
