Palmeiras DDWWDW 📈

Palmeiras will go into the meeting after a 1-2 Copa Libertadores win over Bolívar in their previous game.

Palmeiras have had no problems opening up opposition defences in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 10 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Verdão can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same outings. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

Their prior results show that Palmeiras:

• remain unbeaten by Grêmio in away games against them for the last 4 league matches. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
• have not been beaten in their last 6 league matches away from home.

When taking all factors into account, Palmeiras are likely to breach the defence of this Grêmio outfit, although it possibly won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
