Palmeiras vs Gremio Novorizontin

Palmeiras’ turn will act as host to entertain Gremio Novorizontin in Brazil’s Campeonato Paulista follow-up match in the second leg of the quarter-finals. This game seems both the host and the visitors will play all out in order to qualify for the semi-finals considering their chances are still the same after the first leg yesterday drew 1-1.

It was very regrettable when yesterday’s 1st leg, Palmeiras, which was far superior, was matched by the game. Though Palmeiras controlled the ball with 59% while Gremio Novorizontin 41% but Gremio Novorizontin who relied on counterattacks scored first through Cleo Silva in the 38th minute then Palmeiras equalized on 67 minutes thanks to Arthur Cabral.

Obviously the two players who scored the goal were both expected to contribute again, while due to these results Gremio Novorizontin had not lost in his last 4 matches. Including one of them beat host Santos 0-1, quite interesting because Santos was uprooted against them and increasingly made Palmeiras must be more careful.

But Palmeiras is still much better, they haven’t lost in the last 10 matches. Even before the draw yesterday, Luiz Felipe Scolari’s foster children won in a row in 3 matches. Then in the head to head statistics with Gremio Novorizontin, in the last 5 meetings Palmeiras have never lost 4 wins and 1 draw in other words before the 1st leg draw Gremio Novorizontin always loses. It is likely that Palmeiras brought victory in this match and stepped into the semi-finals.
