Cruzeiro take on the visitors Palmeiras at “Estadio Mineirao” in the matchday 12 of the Brazilian Serie A. The game will be played on Sunday, July 9th.
Cruzeiro lost their best form: the side managed to win only once in last six clashes of the season and two out of 10 recent encounters in all competitions. The team’s inconsistence and mediocre results has led to 13th position of "Raposas” in the elite division’s table with 14 points gained and 11-12 goal difference. Cruzeiro picked up 10 points with eight goals for and five goals against in five matches in face of their fans.

In the mid-week Palmeiras also were beaten by Barcelona SC with 0:1 scoreline in the Copa Libertadores and ended their five-clash undefeated streak. After 11 rounds “Verdao” sits on the fourth place in the Serie A standings with 19 points earned and 15-9 goal difference. Cuca’s side demonstrates poor performance on the road: the team got two triumphs and four losses with 6-8 goal difference in six encounters.
Cruzeiro have not been broken by Palmeiras in four recent head-to-heads recording three draws and 2:1 victory in them. Not so long ago – on the 29th of June the rivals met in the Copa do Brasil and played 3:3 draw. I believe that the spectators shouldn’t expect such exciting fight on Sunday as the teams do not show high efficiency in offense in this season, plus the hosts will extend their successful series against Palmeiras.
Prediction for the match: Cruzeiro to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
