Why Bet on Palmeiras?
In the most important moment of the season, Palmeiras showed its best version, its hierarchy of champions, and took advantage of Botafogo’s slips to become the new leader. The São Paulo team has lost only two of its last ten matches, to Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro. They have won seven times and drawn only once in that period.
The ‘Verdão’ resoundingly won their last match, beating relegated América Mineiro 4-0. Endrick, Eder Ferreira (against), and a brace from Jose Lopez sealed the win.
Abel Ferreira’s men are three points ahead of Botafogo, Atlético Mineiro, and Flamengo. The other remaining championship rival on this team’s calendar is Cruzeiro, which is fighting to avoid relegation. A victory against ‘Flu’ would practically give them the title.
Palmeiras is the second-best home team in the championship, with 41 points in 18 matches, winning 13. They have five consecutive victories, and the last one to take points from them was Atlético Mineiro.
Young Endrick is the team’s best scorer, with ten goals. He is followed by Raphael Veiga with nine conversions, adding seven assists.
Palmeiras’ injured players for this match are Dudu, Gabriel Menino, and Luan.
Why Bet on Fluminense?
At some point in the season, Fluminense fought to be the Brasileirão champions, but the Copa Libertadores tempted them more and ended up being the continental kings. However, the club coached by Fernando Diniz has three consecutive victories, beating rivals such as São Paulo, Coritiba, and finally, the ‘Peixe’, points that are of little use to them, as they already have their place in the next Libertadores.
Flu won the last match 3-0, thanks to goals by Germán Cano, Jhon Arias, and Martinelli. Thanks to this, the team from Rio de Janeiro is seventh with 56 points.
But the issue against Fluminense is that it is one of the worst visitors in the league. In a table of only away points, Diniz’s team is 18th with 13, losing 11 matches out of 18. They only won three times away from the Maracanã.
Although this time he was not fighting for the Golden Boot, Germán Cano was the best scorer of the team, with ten goals. Arias has six goals and seven assists. That is a scary duo.
There are two injured players in this club, Gustavo Apis and Jorge.
