Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro Prediction and Betting Advice

Ahead of our Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro picks, the home side are certainly the more in-form of our two featured clubs – Cruzeiro’s form on the road cannot be ignored, their performances away from home have been abysmal all things considered. It could be argued that form usually goes out the window when the cup competitions roll around, but on this occasion, we still have to make Palmeiras favourites to triumph over a hit and miss Cruzeiro side. Home win.
