Team News

Palmeiras
America MG
  • Gustavo Scarpa got on the scoresheet against Paraná, but will be absent for this one.
  • He's suspended after picking up his third booking of the season.
  • Willian should come in, and there could be some other changes to the XI.
  • Zé Ricardo serves a suspension after picking up his third booking of the season.
  • But Leandro Donizete is available after missing out against parent club Santos.
  • That may be the only change if Givanildo Oliveira goes for consistency in his selections.

Prediction

  • Most champions need a little luck, and while Palmeiras are worthy chamoions-elect, they have had their share of good fortune on the home straight.
  • Every time the Verdão drop points – as they did at the weekend, against relegated Paraná – their closest rivals seem to panic and miss the chance to put pressure on them.
  • They have won 11 straight league games at home, however, which is likely to be bad news for an América Mineiro side who struggle away from Minas Gerais.
