Palmeiras vs Fluminense RJ
This weekend Allianz Parque will be a place for Palmeiras to go straight on the track. The mission will be pursued when visited by Fluminense on the 18th Brazilian League which aired Wednesday (11/9).
Palmeiras has played twice this month, but must wait in the second party to win. This was achieved on Sunday (8/9) yesterday when they went to the Goias headquarters. They had left behind in the 20th minute ‘, but managed to reverse the situation through goals by Willian (81’) and Gustavo Scarpa (90 + 1 ‘).
Fluminense also played on the same day last week, also had to wait at the end of the match to lock in the victory. This time Joao Pedro became a hero through his 86th minute goal against Fortaleza. Thanks to this victory, Fluminense also opened up opportunities to escape the red zone by a difference of three points.
Palmeiras will certainly not let that happen. Because, they themselves need a victory to maintain the top 3 of the pursuit of Corinthians below, as well as cut the distance from Santos FC at the top. They are confident enough to win because they have never lost if they play host, exactly 5 wins and 2 draws, specifically in the Brazilian League competition.
In contrast, Fluminense’s away record is far from satisfying with 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. In addition, they also always lose by a minimum margin of two goals during three consecutive visits to Allianz. With this contrasting appearance, Palmeiras is more than a favorite.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.90
