Palmeiras temporarily shelve league duties to focus on CONMEBOL Libertadores when they welcome Club Sporting Cristal to the Allianz Parque on matchday two. The hosts are in second place in Group F, while the visitors lead at the top with a two-point cushion. Here's our match prediction.
Palmeiras are coming off a disappointing outcome against nine-man Corinthians in the Serie A Betano. It was a dreadful performance as they could only manage a point in a goalless draw away from home. The good news is that they still have a tight grip on the top spot, leading second-placed Flamengo by six points.
Attention now shifts to the CONMEBOL Libertadores. Abel Ferreira's men failed to secure a win in the first round against Junior de Barranquilla, playing to a 1-1 draw on the road.
The Green and White have now gone two games without a win in this competition and have only won just one of their last four matches. Still, their quality suggests a response is on the horizon.
Club Sporting Cristal's last league game was a 2-1 home defeat against Moquegua at the very beginning of April. That result marked their second straight defeat.
However, they didn't let that setback get in the way of a positive outcome in the first round of the CONMEBOL Libertadores. Los Cerveceros defeated Cerro Porteno 1-0 at home courtesy of Felipe Vizeu's effort in the second half.
