Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro Prediction & Betting Tips - Brasileirão Serie A
by Devesh Jaganath in Football Predictions
A top-half battle in Brasileiro is set to take place this weekend with Palmeiras taking on Cruzeiro at Allianz Parque on Sunday morning. The hosts are currently second in the league standings while the visitors are sixth.
After winning the league title in each of the last two seasons, Palmeiras look set to challenge for the top spot again in 2024. However, it will not be an easy feat with Botafogo currently leading the way, three points clear at the summit.
With 17 games now complete, Verdao have accumulated 33 points with a record of 10 wins three draws and four losses. The most recent of those defeats came last week against Fogo on the road.
That result ended a four-match unbeaten streak and was only the second time Abel Ferreira’s side failed to score two or more goals in their last 11 league games. Palmeiras are also on a six-match winning streak at home and scored 14 goals during this run while conceding just three.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches against this opponent dating back to 2018.
Meanwhile, after safely navigating their return to the top flight last season, Cruzeiro have taken huge steps forward this term to find themselves in the Copa Libertadores qualifier spots 16 games in.
With 29 points to their name (W9 D2 L5), Raposa trail fourth-placed Sao Paulo by a single point. However, with the table still very compact, they are also only four points clear of eighth-placed Athletico PR.
Fernando Seabra’s side secured a 2-1 win over RB Bragantino last weekend, extending their current winning run to three games on the bounce. They also kept two clean sheets in that time and have shut out their opponents in nine of their last 15 matches in all competitions.
However, the visitors' away record is less impressive with only two wins in nine away matches this season, along with two draws and five losses.

Our Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro Prediction
Palmeiras would have been bitterly disappointed to drop points to Botafogo last weekend and will know that taking all three on offer in this match is non-negotiable. They have an excellent record in this fixture and are also in very good form at home with six wins in their last six games.
While Cruzeiro have undoubtedly been improved this season, their record on the road is far from impressive, and we feel they will struggle to contain the defending league champions in this one. Our Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro prediction: Palmeiras wins!
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
