BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (Interstat) — First-place SE Palmeiras brings a scorching attack into a pivotal Brazilian Serie A match at CA Mineiro on Wednesday.

Palmeiras (10-2-1) has won three straight, including a 4-1 rout of Fortaleza on Sept. 20. Forwards Allan and Ramón Sosa, along with midfielder Emiliano Martínez, powered that victory, part of a dominant stretch where the club has outscored opponents 12-1 in its last three league matches.

Mineiro (2-2-2), sitting mid-table, is seeking consistency. It settled for a 1-1 draw with Santos on Sept. 14, with forwards Rony and Hulk providing the main threat. The club has just one win in its last four outings across all competitions.

The matchup is a contrast in recent form. Palmeiras’s potent offense will test a Mineiro defense that has kept only one clean sheet this season. According to Interstat’s game simulator, Palmeiras is projected for a narrow 1-0 road victory.

A win would solidify Palmeiras’s hold on the top spot, while Mineiro aims to leverage its home pitch at Estádio Mineirão to climb the standings.
