Atlético Goianiense vs Palmeiras Prediction: Palmeiras is the clear favorite

Atlético Goianiense and Palmeiras will meet in Goiânia, a match between the last-placed team and the second in the standings. Atlético is almost officially relegated, while Palmeiras is just two points behind Botafogo. The�𝓰� Paulistas are forced to win, as they host the Brasileirão leader in the following round.

Atlético Goianiense

When the game with Palmeiras kicks off, Atlético could already be officially relegated if Fluminense beats Fortaleza in the final match of Round 34. Atlético Goianiense's campaign was disappointing, and the departure of coach Jair Ventura proved to be a terrible decision by the club's management, as the team was in 1🎶6th place at the time. In the last round, the Goianos lost 2-0 away to Athetico Paranaense. The Dragon hasn't lost at home i🥀n four games and will be looking to surprise Palmeiras.

Palmeiras

In Salvador, Abel Ferreira's men showed determination to fight for the title until the end of the Série A competition. Bahia opened the scoring in the 27th minute through Luciano Rodriguez, but the champions reacted, and in the 41st minute, Raphael Veiga equalized through a sublime direct free kick. The home team controlled most of the game in the second half, but a great team like Palmeiras can suffer and overcome tough moments. Flaco López's header hit the crossbar in the 89th minute, and the VAR checked that the ball had crossed the goal line. It was a dramatic ending, perhaps too cruel for Bahia🐈, who played well. The Verdão is one step closer to the title, and only victory matters against Atlético Goianiense before it hosts Botafogo.

Expert Betting Tips

The difference between the two sides is massive, so it will be a big surprise if Palmeiras doesn't win. Despite being in last place, Atlético Goianiense hasn't lost at home in four games. The 💫odds for a Palmeiras win are low, so I'm betting that the Paulistas will come out on top without conceding a goal. In their last ten matches, the Goianos have only scored four goals.
