Fourth-placed Palmeiras will welcome third-placed Flamengo to the Allianz Parque in an exciting Brazilian Serie A clash on Saturday.
The hosts are winless in their last three league outings but avoided a third-straight defeat last week as they played out a 2-2 draw against Athletico Paranaense. They have just one win in their last five games in all competitions and fell to a 1-0 away loss to Sao Paulo in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals on Wednesday.
The visitors recorded their second win in a row in the league last week as goals from Gabriel Barbosa and Giorgian de Arrascaeta helped them record a comfortable 2-0 home win over Fortaleza.
They continued their winning run in the Copa do Brasil with a 2-1 home win over Paranaense on Wednesday.
Verdão have suffered just one defeat at home this season, winning 16 of the last 18 matches at Saturday's venue, and are expected to produce a strong display. They have struggled recently, with just one win from their last five games, suffering three defeats in that period.
Mengão look to be in good touch at the moment, winning eight of their last nine games in all competitions. They are unbeaten in their last five games at Saturday's venue and are certain to avoid a defeat. Jorge Sampaoli's men have scored at least two goals in their last nine games in all competitions.
Considering Palmeiras' home advantage and Flamengo's impressive form, the two teams are expected to play out a high-scoring draw.
