Palmeiras lost to Botafogo in the last round and found themselves in a very difficult situation, one more mistake could ruin their chances for the title. It is obvious that the Green-Whites will not lack motivation and no other result than victory will satisfy them. Palmeiras is quite capable of taking their three points – Cruzeiro is far from optimal form, is inferior in class, and in recent years has rarely given a serious fight in face-to-face meetings.
We think that the hosts have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Palmeiras . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
