Betting on Palmeiras (-118 at Caliente)
Strangely enough, Palmeiras finds itself far from the top of the standings in the Brasileirão. With 31 points, the team is currently in 4th place, 12 points behind the leader Botafogo. Palmeiras has achieved eight wins, seven draws, and three losses so far. It is worth mentioning that the team has scored the most goals in the tournament so far (33) and has allowed one of the fewest amount with 17.
The team is coming off a tough defeat against Fluminense last Saturday. Abel Ferreira decided to rest several of the regular starters, and the rotation backfired against an opponent that took away its third place in the standings.
The team from São Paulo had not lost since July 13th, in a 1-2 defeat against Sao Paulo. Interestingly, this setback happened on its own field, where Palmeiras has only lost in two of its last 38 matches.
Its opponents will have a tough time with such numbers, especially if we take into account that in five of their eight closest encounters, the host team has scored at least three goals.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Weverton; Mayke, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo Cerqueira, Joaquín Piquerez; Gabriel Menino, Zé Rafael; Dudu, Raphael Veiga, Artur; Rony.
Betting on the Copa Libertadores
Betting on Atlético Mineiro (+333 at Caliente)
Atlético Mineiro cannot seem to get its act together in the domestic tournament, and it is only six points away from the relegation zone. The team has only celebrated a win in five out of the 17 matches, and three of those victories were obtained on the road. In fact, the Atlético Mineiro team is currently the sixth-best team in the country when playing away, recording three wins in nine games.
However, if the team wants to make a big impact on enemy territory, Felipe Scolari and company will have to turn around a worrying situation in which they have not won in 10 matches. We have to go back to June 6 to find the last time Atlético Mineiro was able to win three points. It was in the framework of this Copa Libertadores in a 1-0 win against Alianza Lima in Peru.
Its away record does not differ much, with five matches without a victory, during which the team has only managed to score three goals. Nevertheless, everything could change if it improves its aim, considering that Atlético Mineiro has averaged more than 12 shots on target per game.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1):Everson; Renzo Saravia, Igor Rabello, Jemerson, Guilherme Arana; Otávio, Rodrigo Battaglia; Paulinho, Matías Zaracho, Cristian Pavón; Hulk.
