This is it, the last matchday of the Brasileirão has come, and we have Palmeiras facing Fluminense while still being alive in the title race, but it does not depend on itself.
The Verdão is looking to become the Champion for a third straight time, but a loss against Botafogo turned its shot into an uphill battle. The team is three points behind the leaders, and with this being the final matchday, they need a victory and a defeat for the Fogao.
Fluminense is at the 15th spot on the board, with 11 wins, 10 draws, and 16 losses, which means they are too close to the relegation zone and still in danger.

Why bet on Palmeiras?
Palmeiras is between a rock and a hard place, all due to their loss to Botafogo, who are looking to take the title with a healthy advantage.
This places the defending champs in a tough spot, as they need to win and make it a good performance to improve their goal differential, but they also require Botafogo to lose their final match to be crowned for a third time.
That is definitely a tall order, but they can make it happen, as their current opponents may be what the Doctor ordered.
With 22 victories, the Verdão is tied in wins with O Fogo, but their eight defeats compared to Botafogo’s five have taken a great toll on their title aspirations.
Why bet on Fluminense?
Fluminense is looking to end its season on a high note. However, they will be facing the 2nd placed Palmeiras, so this is a tough situation for the visitors.
They are slightly out of the danger zone but anything could happen in this last matchday. Whatever the case, there’s a chance that even with a loss they can remain in the category.
The main problem for Fluminense this season was the attack, as with 39 goals against, they have an excellent defense for a team in the lower half of the table. In fact, you need to go all the way to the top five to find a team with similar numbers. However, with 32 goals in favor, they have the worst offense outside the bottom two. From being one of the most prominent goalscorers in the world and comparing in raw numbers to Haaland and Mbappe, German Cano was totally anonymous this Brasileirão 2024 with only four goals in the league, being one of the reasons why the Cariocas were a disaster up-front.
