Palmeiras’ chase for an 11th Serie A title is going on well, and they are doing fine on all fronts – domestic and continental. They are currently top of the league standings on 28 points and are eying three more points when they host ninth placed Fluminense, who have 17 points. Palmeiras are coming from a 1-0 win over Universidad Catolica in the Copa Libertadores, a result that secured them passage to the quarter finals of the competition. It was also their eighth straight win and a fifth clean sheet in six matches. They’ve scored in each of their last 12 matches, and in the last 11, they scored two or more in seven. At home, Palmeiras have scored in each of their six Serie A matches, and in each of the last four, they have scored two or more goals. They have just one clean sheet at home this season in Serie A.

Fluminense aren’t doing so badly either, but a 1-0 loss to struggling Gremio will dent their hopes going to this game. It was the second time in four matches that they failed to score but with three clean sheets in the last five matches, they will feel capable of holding their own against this free scoring Palmeiras side. They’ve however won just two of their last eight Serie A matches. In their last 10 league matches, Fluminense have three clean sheets only. They go to this game with two straight away wins and though facing a side with a great home run, the visitors will be eyeing three points. Head to head, they have three losses and one win in their last five meetings with Palmeiras.
