THE PREDICTION
An all-Brazilian semi-final clash sees Palmeiras and Atletico Mineiro lock horns in this first leg at Allianz Parque. The two sides sit within the top two of the Brazilian Serie A table, with the visitors in top spot and above Palmeiras by seven points. The two sides have clashed once already this season, last month in a Brazilian Serie A encounter which saw Atletico Mineiro secure a 2-0 victory over their opponents here. With home advantage in their favour, Palmeiras will be aware how important it is to try and take a lead into the second leg and are expected to take the game to Cuca’s side, even if it does see them sacrifice a portion of defensive stability. Whilst this is likely to see them find success in front of goal, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Atletico Mineiro were to gain opportunities themselves on the counter attack against an exposed backline as they hunt for that elusive away goal that could prove so crucial in the context of this semi-final. Therefore, backing both teams to score is worth serious consideration in this one.
