Stadium: Maracana (Rio de Janeiro)
28.08.2022 01:00
The central game of the 24th round of the Brazilian football championship will be the encounter between Fluminense and Palmeiras. The teams can even be described as rivals, although we doubt that the club from Rio will be able to win back the 8-point handicap in the remaining time from a powerful club.

In midweek, Fluminense played the first leg of the Brazilian Cup semi-final against Corinthians at the Maracanã, with the return leg scheduled for 16 September. The encounter ended 2:2. In the national championship, they have three wins, a defeat, and a draw in their last five games, an overall good statistic. The home statistics for the Tricolours are second in the division, +8=1-3, 24:13 goal difference.
Palmeiras
Palmeiras has been eliminated from the Brazilian Cup, and the Greens are now concentrating on two tournaments: Serie A and the Libertadores Cup. In the Libertadores Cup, the first leg against Atlético Paranaense is scheduled for August 31, three days after our game. It would be logical to assume that Palmeiras will not field the strongest squad for the away game against Fluminense. Moreover, Palmeiras has an 8-point handicap against Fluminense, which means that the club from Sao Paulo will be happy with a draw in the upcoming game. Palmeiras has the best away statistics in the division, +7=4-0, 15:5 goal difference.
Expert Betting Tips
The matches between Fluminense and Palmeiras regularly end in a TO (1.5), so there is no reason to think that Sunday's game will be inconclusive. We have noted that Palmeiras' upcoming match against Atletico Paranaense in the Libertadores Cup is a priority. Still, we doubt that the Greens will ignore the meeting against their nearest rival. We expect a responsible attitude from the leader in the upcoming game.
