Betting on Palmeiras
Palmeiras arrives in good form for their debut in this new season of the local league after being crowned champion of the state tournament without major complications, solidifying themselves as the best team of the tournament.
However, their debut in the Copa Libertadores was not without its difficulties, as they were defeated 3-1 by Bolívar, in a match that was conditioned by the challenging altitude of La Paz.
The Verdao enters this new Brasileirao season as the reigning champion after winning the previous tournament. On that occasion, the team demonstrated a great level of play by registering 23 wins, 12 draws, and only three losses.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Joaquín Piquerez; Gabriel Menino, Zé Rafael; Breno Lopes, Raphael Veiga, Dudu; Rony.
Betting on Cuiaba
Cuiaba comes into this match after being crowned champions of their state tournament, where they managed to win the title without a single defeat. However, it should be noted that this is not one of the most competitive state tournaments in Brazil.
In the previous season they struggled with relegation throughout the season, recording 10 wins, 11 draws and 17 defeats, but managed to stay in the category by finishing four points ahead of the red zone.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Walter; Matheus Alexandre, Joao Maranini, Marllon, Mateusinho; Filipe Augusto, Denilson, Pablo Ceppelini; Jonathan Cafú, Wllington Silva, Deyverson.
JefeBet Prediction
Palmeiras is undoubtedly superior to Cuiabá in terms of hierarchy and level of play. While it is true that both teams were crowned champions of their respective state tournaments, the Verdao had to overcome more complex opponents than their opponents in this duel.
Based on the above, at JefeBet we expect a comfortable win for the local team, which will allow them to start this new season on the right foot and make amends in the Copa Libertadores.
Prediction: Palmeiras Moneyline (PAL 2-0 CUI).
