In their last match they recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Botafogo. Rony scored the first goal for Palmeiras in the 11th minute, then Furtado Scarpa added another in the 18th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Botafogo couldn’t manage to score, and Palmeiras took the shutout win. Palmeiras should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while atlético GO sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Fluminense. Jefferson struck first for Atlético GO in the 35th minute, then Wellington Rato added another in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time In the end, Fluminense was frustrated by Atlético GO’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Atlético GO ended the match with the shutout victory. Atlético GO is looking for direction having 3 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Palmeiras won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Wellington Rato has been the most effective weapon for Atlético GO lately. The Brazilian attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches. Rony has been the most prolific scorer on Palmeiras in the last 5 matches with three goals.
