Palmeiras vs. Flamengo: Match Prediction
In this season's Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras has displayed strength in all aspects of the game. Notably, the team's defensive performance stands out: in their last nine matches in this tournament, Abel Ferreira's side conceded more than one goal only in the away game against LDU Quito. Moreover, during this period, the club managed to completely neutralize opponents' attacks six times, keeping a clean sheet.
Flamengo has not impressed with high scoring in the current Copa Libertadores and often achieved results without a dazzling offensive display. Overall, the team has not been very efficient in attack on the international stage: in the last 15 Copa Libertadores matches, the club only scored more than one goal on three occasions. Additionally, in the last three encounters in this tournament, Flamengo scored only once in total.
I expect another solid defensive performance from Palmeiras, hence my prediction: Flamengo Individual Total Under 1.5
