Palmeiras vs Atletico-MG Prediction & Tips
Palmeiras come into this match in good shape and with high ambitions. The team had an outstanding recent performance at the Club World Cup, where out of five matches they only lost in the quarter-finals to eventual champions Chelsea.
In the Brasileirao, Palmeiras have played just one game since their return: a 1-1 draw at home to Mirassol. They are currently fifth in the table, but still have a good chance of climbing higher: Palmeiras have two games in hand and the gap to leaders Cruzeiro is seven points.
Atlético Mineiro, after a somewhat shaky start to the championship, has found consistency and is now showing solid results. In the last 10 matches in all competitions, the team has suffered only one defeat – in the last round of the Brasileirao away to Bahia 1-2. In the table, Atlético Mineiro are eighth with 20 points after 13 games.
