⭐ Editor's Prediction
Palmeiras are strong at home and motivated to hold onto top spot. That said, the visitors' defence hasn't been solid lately - Atletico Mineiro have conceded in 9 of their last 10 Serie A matches, and in 8 of their last 9 away games across all competitions. Palmeiras have gone unbeaten against this opponent in 15 of their last 16 meetings, and scored more than one goal against Atletico Mineiro in five of their previous Serie A encounters. Given current form and the head-to-head record, our pick is Palmeiras total goals over 1.5. Predicted score - 2:1.
