Palmeiras hosts Sao Paulo in round 33 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, November 18th at Allianz Parque (Sao Paulo)
In recent years, Palmeiras has shown interesting statistics, winning in even-numbered years. In 2016 and 2018, the White-Greens managed to win Serie A, and there was a triumph in Copa Libertadores in the last draw. Against this background, now Abel Ferreira's charges look no less successful in the international arena — they again made it to the final of the Copa and will try to defend the title in the confrontation against Flamengo. But as for Serie A, Palmeiras players are unlikely to replenish their trophy collection. They gained excellent shape and won six times in a row, but the last round ended in a 2-1 defeat to Fluminense. Now the lag behind the leader, Atletico Mineiro, is thirteen points.

In the previous season, Sao Paulo finished in high 4th place in the standings. But now it seems that the club is too carried away by the fight for the Copa Libertadores. The Tricolors managed to reach the quarterfinals, where they lost just to Palmeiras in August. Then Sao Paulo gradually slowed down in the championship. The results in the last rounds were especially weak. The Tricolors lost to Bahia, gained only a draw against Fortaleza, and suffered a 0-4 defeat from Flamengo in the last match. So far, Sao Paulo is above the relegation zone. But Juventude, which is ranked 17th, has only two points less and a game in hand (plus four matches without defeats). If this trend continues, not only Gremio but also another popular project may leave Brasileirao at the end of this season.
Sao Paulo had a streak of seven head-to-head matches in a row without defeats (three victories and four draws). But in the quarterfinals of Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras finally gained a convincing 3-0 at home. The White-Greens will try to prove that the defeat in the last round was an exception. But Sao Paulo must fight for points right now. So, we are not expecting a boring game and recommend betting on Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
