Cruzeiro stuck in the middle of the standings. The visiting side finished eighth last season and now they are 12th in the table with 36 points after 29 matches played. Cruzeiro still need points to secure their place in elite division but away match at the leaders isn’t the venue where today’s Cruzeiro can be counting on points. On top of that, away record of the team isn’t convincing as Cruzeiro have only 16 points taken in 14 matches on the road.
Neither of the teams have advantage in recent head-to-heads. However, results of this season suggest that Cruzeiro have small chances to offer a battle to the hosting side, who look solid through the season and rarely lose points at home. We should expect Palmeiras to prevail in the match and take whole three points.
Prediction for the match: Palmeiras to win.
