Palmeiras vs Internacional Prediction
Palmeiras will be the underdogs coming into this game. In Lucas Lima and Luiz Adriano they have Brazil internationals with experience. Lima is expected to start this game, and the attacking midfielder will have to pull the strings from midfield if Palmeiras are to get a positive result.
Internacional, on the other hand, sit at the top of the league table. Eduardo Coudet's side are two points ahead of second-placed Sao Paulo, and would like to increase the gap if possible. In Paolo Guerrero and Andres D'Alessandro they have two highly-experienced international forwards while former AS Monaco player Gabriel Boschilia has been in good form as well.
Prediction: Palmeiras 1-2 Internacional
