Fluminense vs Palmeiras Predictions

• Palmeiras have won their last six games and are unbeaten in their last seven.
• Fluminense have a lot of fixtures against sides below them to come – this one can be seen as a free hit.
• The visitors have been winning at halftime in four of their last five games.

Inconsistency has been costly for the hosts

It’s going to take something pretty special for second-placed side Palmeiras to catch Atlético Mineiro at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A standings as they sit 10 points behind them heading into this match. Meanwhile, the hosts come into this one having lost three of their previous four fixtures and may be looking to considerably easier fixtures after this one.

The hosts have been very inconsistent lately and their performance last time out against Gremio summed it up. They were lethargic and simply did not work as hard as their opponents in the midfield battle, arriving second to every second ball. It’s something they need to rectify, and quickly, as Palmeiras will exploit that time and time again.

The visitors are coming off the back of possibly their most complete performance of the entire season, as they won 4-0 and, despite seeing the small share of the ball, didn’t allow their opponents to have a shot on target. They’re on fire and you’d be hard-pressed to find a team in Brazil that can beat them with how they’re playing right now.

A professional performance from Palmeiras

We’re expecting Palmeiras to put in yet another professional performance here and secure all three points as they try to make the impossible possible. It will be competitive and so a 2-1 scoreline in favour of the visitors could be on the cards.
