Why Bet on Cruzeiro?
It’s been a great season so far for Cruzeiro. They have 20 points from six wins, two draws, and two losses, scoring 15 goals and conceding seven. They currently sit in third place, just two points behind leaders Palmeiras, meaning a win this Sunday could put them at the top of the standings.
Last weekend, they defeated Fortaleza 2-0 with goals from Kaio Jorge and Lucas Silva, both assisted by Gabriel Barbosa. The former Juventus striker is Cruzeiro’s top scorer with six goals.
They are now unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions, winning seven of them. The only downside is their elimination from the Copa Sudamericana, regardless of this week’s result at home against Unión (Argentina)
Alongside Ceará, they are the best home team in the league with four wins and a draw, scoring eight goals and conceding just two. That draw came in their last home match, a 0-0 tie with Atlético Mineiro.
For this game, Matheus Pereira —one of the best players in the Brasileirão— will return from suspension, while Matheus Henrique remains out injured.
Why Bet on Palmeiras?
Palmeiras are the current Brasileirão leaders, but their lead is no longer as comfortable. After last weekend’s 0-2 home loss to Flamengo, they now sit on 22 points—just one ahead of ‘Mengão’ and two ahead of Cruzeiro and RB Bragantino.
They have seven wins, one draw, and two losses, with 11 goals scored and six conceded. Their attack is the weakest among the league’s top six teams, but their defense is the third-best in the championship.
Before that defeat, they were on a seven-game winning streak across all competitions, during which they secured a spot in the Copa Libertadores Round of 16. This Wednesday, they’ll aim to complete the group stage with a perfect record when they host Sporting Cristal.
Palmeiras are the best away team in the Brasileirão with a perfect record: five matches, five wins. Interestingly, all of those victories came by just one goal —two by 0-1 and three by 1-2. Counting league, Copa Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, and the Paulista Tournament, they haven’t lost an away match since November 4, 2024—that’s a 20-game unbeaten run on the road, with 17 wins.
Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos will return for this match after serving a suspension.
