Match Preview
Palmeiras will host Atletico Goianiense at Allianz Parque, aiming for their sixth consecutive home victory.

Palmeiras: Recent Form and News
Palmeiras have been in excellent form, winning five of their last six home matches. They recently defeated Bahia 2-0, with standout performances from Estevao and Rony.
Estevao, a 17-year-old talent, continues to shine and is set for a future move to Chelsea. Palmeiras have been resilient, losing only one of their last twelve matches in all competitions.
Key players like Richard Rios will be absent due to international duty, while Murilo Cerqueira, Lazaro, and Bruno Rodrigues are sidelined with injuries.
Despite these absences, Palmeiras' depth and quality make them a formidable opponent.
Atletico Goianiense: Recent Form and News
Atletico Goianiense have struggled this season, particularly away from home. They have only two wins from fifteen league matches and have failed to win any of their last six games. Their recent 2-1 loss to Athletico Paranaense highlighted their ongoing issues.
The team will miss Derek Freitas due to suspension, along with injured players Pedro Henrique and Gustavo Campanharo.
Their lack of form and key player absences suggest a challenging match ahead.
Prediction
Given their current form and home advantage, Palmeiras are favourites to win this match.
Atletico Goianiense's poor away record and recent performances indicate they will struggle against a dominant Palmeiras side.
