In the match between Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, I prefer to bet on Palmeiras' victory. The current champion is showing good form, especially at home where they have won five consecutive games. Meanwhile, Cruzeiro's away performances have not been impressive - three losses in their last four matches on the road. Palmeiras currently sits in second place in the league table and has the best defense in the league. Taking into account their successful head-to-head record, with three wins in their last four meetings, it is safe to assume that the hosts will be able to win this match. Their disappointing performance in the previous match should serve as extra motivation for the Palmeiras team, so my prediction is a Palmeiras victory.
