Palmeiras

Palmeiras will be looking for a repeat result of the 3-0 Copa do Brasil victory versus Ceará.

In that match, Palmeiras managed 61% possession and 19 attempts at goal with 8 on target. The scorer for Palmeiras was José Manuel López (87'). At the other end, Ceara had 10 attempts at goal with 0 on target.

Under three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Palmeiras have been involved. Regarding the goal distribution in that period, opposition teams scored an aggregate of 1 while Palmeiras managed the sum of 8. We shall soon see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Palmeiras:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Flamengo in their last 2 games.
• are winless against Flamengo in their previous 14 league games. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.

Flamengo go into this game following on from a 4-2 Copa do Brasil win to defeat Botafogo-PB in their previous match.

In that game, Flamengo managed 70% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. For Flamengo, the scorers were Danilo (4'), Pedro (7'), Guillermo Varela (22') and Everton (48'). Botafogo-PB had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target. Henrique Dourado (36') was the scorer for Botafogo-PB.

Filipe Luís's Flamengo have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 9 times throughout their latest 6 matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during those matches comes to 5.

Looking at their past form shows that Flamengo:

• haven't beaten Palmeiras when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
• haven't been defeated by Palmeiras when having played them away from home in the previous 7 league games. A very good run of results for them.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Palmeiras

Bruno Rodrigues (Knee injury) and Felipe Anderson (Hamstring injury) won’t be available for Palmeiras gaffer Abel Ferreira.

In our view, Verdão could employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Weverton, Agustín Giay, Gustavo Gomez, Bruno Fuchs, Joaquín Piquerez, Lucas Evangelista, Emiliano Martínez, Mayke, Mauricio, Estevão and Vitor Roque.

📋 Team News: Flamengo

Flamengo manager Filipe Luís has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Nicolás de la Cruz (Knee injury), Gonzalo Plata (Knee problems), Matías Viña (Knee injury), Allan (Hamstring injury) and Erick Pulgar (Hamstring injury) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Fla seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Agustin Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Gerson, Evertton Araújo, Luiz Araujo, G. de Arrascaeta, Everton and Bruno Henrique.

🧠 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Flamengo might need a bit of good fortune to see themselves scoring against this Palmeiras team who we think will likely just have the edge.

Our tip is therefore for a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 advantage for Palmeiras at the end of the 90.

It should be a good one.
