Why Bet on Cruzeiro?
Despite being in the top half of the season at the beginning of the campaign, Cruzeiro was on a bad streak and ended up fighting for relegation when the bet was otherwise.
However, in the last match, they drew 0-0 with Botafogo, taking away the possibility of being champions from ‘O’Fogo.’ In the process, they confirmed their permanence in the Brazilian first division.
The Black Beast reached 46 points and is 14th, which is why, incredibly, it has qualified for the next Copa Sudamericana. Although Santos can match them in points, the goal difference of the ‘Peixe’ is -24, while the team from Minas Gerais has +3.
Cruzeiro has five matches without losing, drawing three of them. There were three draws and two wins against Goiás and Fortaleza.
We must say that the team coached by Paulo Autuori has not been at their best when they play at home, as they have only scored 19 points in 18 matches. They have three games without a win at home, drawing in the last two.
The injured players for the Black Beast are Lucas Silva, Rafael Bilu, and Ramiro.
Why Bet on Palmeiras?
When it was time to win and show the champion’s chaste side, Palmeiras showed their hierarchy, taking the lead, and with the last game to go, the Brasileirão title is in their pocket.
The ‘Verdão’s’ last stop was a difficult one as they beat Fluminense, the current Copa Libertadores champion, 1-0, with a goal scored by Breno Lopes in the first half.
In doing so, they reached 69 points, three more than Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo. Abel Ferreira’s men have not lost in their last four matches, taking 10 out of 12 points.
Palmeiras beat rivals such as Internacional, Athletico Paranaense, and Botafogo itself, which missed the opportunity to be the king of Brazil due to a terrible end to the competition.
The São Paulo team has been a regular visitor, although it has not won in its last two games, losing 3-0 to Flamengo and drawing 2-2 with Fortaleza. On the road, they have 25 points from 18 matches.
Endrick with ten goals, and Raphael Veiga with nine goals and seven assists, are the team’s most dangerous players.
Dudu is injured, as are Gabriel Menino and Rony, all starting players. However, they might not be needed, as even if Palmeiras lost, they would be champions because they have a goal difference of +31, and Atlético Mineiro has a goal difference of +23. There should be some unlikely goals in the last matchday.
