Sao Paulo hosts Palmeiras in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 11th at Estádio do Morumbi (Sao Paulo)
Sao Paulo is one of the most popular and ambitious teams in the country. However, the Tricolors have not been able to win anything serious since 2012. But at the same time, they constantly managed to step up, and in 2020 they took 4th place. The fans waited for further progress, but this time everything went wrong. Sao Paulo scored less than a point per match in Brasileirao. Of course, the club must make up for such results in Copa Libertadores. And they have already reached the quarterfinals. In the previous round, they knocked out Racing, defeating the Argentines in Avellaneda and tying at home.

Palmeiras have delighted their fans in recent years. However, this only happened in even-numbered years. In 2016 and 2018, the club became the champion of Brazil. And last season the Greens were able to win the Copa Libertadores for the second time in their history (before that, there was a triumph in 1999). Moreover, they won the cup of their country. Now Abel Ferreira's charges look great both in the domestic and international arena. Palmeiras is among the leaders in Serie A and confidently gets through the draw of the current Copa Libertadores. The Greens had no problems in the spring, when they played in the group stage (five wins in six games). And in mid-July, they managed to eliminate Universidad Catolica (both matches ended with a 1-0 victory).
Palmeiras managed to win only once in the last 11 head-to-head matches against Sao Paulo. Even this season, the Tricolors managed to gain victory in the final of the state championship (0-0 and 2-0). And just a week and a half ago, the teams shared points in Serie A (0-0). It is noteworthy that now Sao Paulo will be the favorite, albeit with a minimal gap. But Palmeiras is clearly stronger now, so we are waiting for the long-awaited victory of the Greens. But don’t forget about a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Palmeiras to win with 0.0 handicap
