Palmeiras vs U. de Deportes Prediction: Palmeiras are already in the next phase

Palmeiras vs U. de Deportes: Prediction and odds on the Match on 22 August 2025

In Sao Paulo at the Allianz Parque stadium, Palmeiras welcomes Peruvian U de Deportes in the second match of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. This is the match with the least excitement in this phase of the competition, because in the first match, Palmeiras managed to win more easily than expected with a high score of 4-0. Even without that, Palmeiras were considered a huge favorite against U de Deportes, primarily because of the quality and reputation of the Brazilian giant. They still have to work these 90 minutes in front of their fans, while U de Deportes will play for their pride and possibly will hope and try to make an incredible turnaround.

Palmeiras: form and statistics

Palmeiras are already surely thinking about the next phase and the much more serious opponent that awaits them, which could be Paraguayan Libertad or Argentine River Plate. In any case, Palmeiras are playing in excellent form and certainly have ambitions to go all the way and even win this competition. In the Brazilian championship, Palmeiras are also playing quite well and are in the fight for the title. They are in 2nd position with only 4 points less than Flamengo, but also one match played less. At home, they have 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. In the last 5 matches at this ground, they have 3 wins, 1 draw, and a loss. In the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, they played incredibly and won all 6 matches, scoring 17 and conceding only 4 goals. At home in 3 matches, they scored 9 and did not concede a single goal. This means that this season, Palmeiras have not yet conceded a goal in the Copa Libertadores after 7 matches played.

Palmeiras: Lineup

🔖Palmeiras probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Weverton (GK) - Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Joaquín Piquerez - Lucas Evangelista, Anibal Moreno - Facundo Torres, Flaco López, Felipe Anderson - Vitor Roque

U de Deportes: form and statistics

U de Deportes have had a solid start to the Peruvian league season, and after 6 rounds, they have 4 wins and 2 draws. They are in 3rd position, and so far in 6 matches, they have scored 11 and conceded only 4 goals. In the group stage, they were quite lucky and finished in second position in Group B, behind River Plate with a score of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. Their goal difference was 4:4, and they only advanced to the next stage because Ind. del Valle conceded 3 more goals. However, in the first match against Palmeiras, although they played at home, they were outplayed and humiliated, although it is also worth mentioning that they played with a player less from the 53rd minute after William Riveros received a direct red card. U de Deportes is undefeated in the last 7 away matches, but now they will have a real challenge to continue that streak and remain undefeated in one of the toughest away matches in the Copa Libertadores this season.

Palmeiras vs U. de Deportes match prediction 22 August 2025

We can say that we already know which team will advance to the next stage, Palmeiras. However, it will be interesting to see if they can manage to keep a clean sheet against U. de Deportes and continue their run of 7 matches without conceding a goal in the Copa Libertadores. U de Deportes, on the other hand, are playing well, but they aren't on the same level as Palmeiras. I expect to see many goals in this match, and I think it's already time for Palmeiras to concede a goal in this competition.
