Palmeiras hosts Atletico Mineiro in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-final at Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo. This will be the same game as last year when these two clubs met in the semi-finals, when Atletico MG was the leader in the table and Palmeiras went on to win. Things have changed a lot this season, now Palmeiras is the leader of the Brazilian Seria A, while Mineiro is struggling with form. Atletico has not been in good shape for a few weeks now and it shows in their games. They have only three wins in the previous ten games and they lost the last game at home with 3-2 against Atletico PR, even though they had a 1-0 half-time lead. The defence of Atletico MG simply allows too many goals, not at all the face of the defence from last season and that is the main problem of the guests along with of course the bad games of the star of the team Hulk, who is not playing anywhere near as well as before. They tried to bring Pavon from Boca Juniors who is a great player but he will not be able to play tonight because he is suspended as well as Guilherme Arana, the great left-back has not yet recovered from his injury. The new coach Cuca has not brought anything new and has not yet recorded his first victory with Atletico MG, even though they have played five matches.

On the other hand, what about Palmeiras, the leader in the table and the best club in South America for two years in a row. Palmeiras is heading for the third title and I think that only Flamengo can stop them in that way. Coach Abel Ferreira leads the team brilliantly, they play very well, they have very good results in the series and how strong they are, the fact that they have four defeats in the last 40 games in all competitions speaks volumes!!! Palmeiras will have a big reinforcement for tonight's game, Rony is coming back to the team, the great striker was recovering from an injury and with him in the attack, the hosts will have a very high-quality attack. Coach Abel Ferreira will have all the players at his disposal, meaning Gustavo Scarpa, Dudu, Raphael Veiga and Rony will lead the charge of the hosts. These four players are playing fantastically this season and I think they will dominate the middle of the pitch and the visitors have no chance there. "Verdao" is a big favourite in my opinion, they have the strongest team in South America, the players are in their stadium in front of their fans and I think that anything but a victory for the home team would be a surprise here, the guests come in big problems without two important players and I think that here ends their trip to the Copa Libertadores.

My prediction;

Outcome: Palmeiras to win

在圣保罗安联公园举行的解放者杯四分之一决赛第二回合中，帕尔梅拉斯主场迎战米内罗竞技。这将和去年这两家俱乐部在半决赛相遇时的比赛一样，当时马竞是积分榜上的头名，帕尔梅拉斯赢得了比赛。本赛季情况发生了很大的变化，现在帕尔梅拉斯是巴西甲级联赛的领袖，而米内罗的状态还在挣扎。马竞已经有几个星期状态不佳了，这一点从他们的比赛中就能看出来。在过去的10场比赛中，他们只赢了3场，上一场他们在主场3-2输给了马竞，尽管他们上半场1-0领先。MG马竞技的防守太容易进球了，根本不是上赛季的防守，这是客人们的主要问题，当然还有球队明星浩克的糟糕比赛，他的表现远不如以前。他们试图从博卡青年引进帕文，他是一名伟大的球员，但他今晚不能参加比赛，因为他和伟大的左后卫吉列尔梅·阿拉纳都还没有从伤病中恢复。新帅库卡没有带来任何新东西，虽然他们已经踢了5场比赛，但他还没有在MG马竞取得第一场胜利。

另一方面，帕尔梅拉斯俱乐部呢?它是积分榜上的领头羊，连续两年成为南美最好的俱乐部。帕尔梅拉斯正朝着第三个冠军迈进，我认为只有弗拉门戈能以这种方式阻止他们。教练阿贝尔·费雷拉带领球队非常出色，他们踢得非常好，他们在系列赛中取得了非常好的成绩，他们是多么强大，他们在各项赛事的最后40场比赛中4次失败的事实充分说明了这一点!帕尔梅拉斯将在今晚的比赛中得到强大的增援，罗尼将回归球队，这位伟大的前锋正在从伤病中恢复，有他在进攻中，东道主将有一个非常高质量的进攻。主帅埃贝尔·费雷拉将让所有的球员随时待命，这意味着古斯塔沃·斯卡帕、杜杜、拉斐尔·维加和罗尼将率领东道主队冲锋。这四名球员本赛季的表现非常出色，我认为他们会在中路占据主导地位，客队在那里没有机会。“Verdao”是我最喜欢的球队，他们拥有南美最强的球队，球员们在他们的球场上，在他们的球迷面前，我认为除了主队的胜利之外，任何事情都是一个惊喜，没有两名重要的球员，客人们都陷入了大麻烦，我认为他们的解放者杯之旅在这里结束了。
