Athletico Paranaense and Palmeiras to Draw
While we expect Palmeiras to eventually lift the Recopa Sudamericana trophy since they are the better team on paper, we can see them getting the advantage in the second leg that Palmeiras will host.
For the first leg, we can see Athletico Paranaense securing a draw, especially since the two teams have only been playing their regional championships so far and they are not at the top of competitive form.
Athletico Paranaense and Palmeiras to Draw at Half Time
Since we expect this match to end without a winner, we can also see these two teams being tied at half time, which is often the case in matches that end in a draw.
Furthermore, three of the last five head-to-head duels between Athletico Paranaense and Palmeiras have been tied at half times, so we would not be surprised if their upcoming match is equal at half time as well.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Three of the last five h2h meetings between Athletico Paranaense and Palmeiras have ended with no more than two goals being scored, so we can see that being the case in this game as well, especially considering the importance of the match.
Furthermore, Athletico Paranaense averaged 2.26 goals per game last season in Serie A, while Palmeiras averaged 2.66 goals per game in the league last season.
Athletico Paranaense vs Palmeiras preview: Who will take the advantage?
Athletico Paranaense
