Our Cruzeiro vs Palmeiras preview below analyses who we think will win in a clash between two of Brazil’s most famous teams.

Cruzeiro vs Palmeiras Prediction and Betting Advice

The teams featured in our Cruzeiro vs Palmeiras picks played each other last just a week ago in the Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo. Cruzeiro raced into an early three-goal lead that day before they were pegged back by a determined Palmeiras in the second half- the contest eventually ended 3-3 after an enthralling end-to-end display of attacking the football.

Although it might be asking a little too much to expect a repeat of that sensational tie on Sunday, a draw looks a good bet here between two well-matched sides. I predict a point a piece for the sides come the final whistle.
