Palmeiras have easily been the best team in the Brazilian top flight this season and they are on a course to lift the title at the end of the campaign. They have scored the most number of goals of all the teams in the league, as well as have conceded the least.
They have built quite some momentum and since the second-placed Corinthians have a tough fixture coming up, it is an opportunity for the toppers to improve their position even more.
It also needs to be noted that they are at home where they have been even more dominant and most importantly they are pitted against Atletico Go, who are barely staying above the relegation cut-off.
Atletico also have been struggling on the road for quite some time and do also consider the fact that they have a poor head-to-head record against this opponent over the years.
On the other hand, Atletico Go were winless in 11 of their past 16 overall games and they had remained winless in 7 of their former 8 road trips. In addition, they also have struggled quite a lot in past head-to-head clashes against this arrival.
For the reasons, anticipate a win for Palmeiras this Thursday.
