Colombia's Junior FC travels to Sao Paulo to lock horns with Palmeiras at Allianz Parque in the closing round of the Copa Libertadores, hoping to secure the third spot that'll guarantee them a spot in South America's second-tier competition. However, three losses in four games do not bode well for them, with the home team expected to dominate this fixture in our high-scoring prediction.
Progression to the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores for Palmeiras is far from being assured. Despite occupying second place with eight points in Group F, they are just two points ahead of third-placed Sporting Cristal.
The Green and White had the opportunity to extend that lead last time out against Cerro Porteno at home. What was supposed to be a one-sided affair ended up in a 1-0 defeat, marking their first loss.
Abel Ferreira's men didn't let that outcome distract them as they faced Flamengo in the Serie A Betano. They extended their lead at the top to seven points with a decisive 3-0 away victory.
After four failed attempts, Junior FC finally managed to pick up their first Copa Libertadores win on their fifth outing with a hard-fought 3-2 home victory against Sporting Cristal.
Los Tiburones may be anchored at the bottom of the table with four points, but a win here and results elsewhere could see them finish third and drop into the Copa Sudamericana.
