On the other side, league leaders Palmeiras are enjoying a stellar season. Undefeated in their last five matches, they have secured three wins, including a commanding 3-0 triumph over Flamengo and a 4-1 demolition of Junior. Their defensive prowess has been evident, conceding just 0.60 goals per match on average, while scoring 1.80.
