Copa Libertadores tonight Palmeiras host Fluminense in a continental cup game, the two teams having just met on 15 Oct., when Palmeiras went away and won 2-1 at Fluminense's home, and that is the psychological edge Palmeiras hold going into this game. Palmeiras returned to Serie A and followed it with an away 2-0 win over Athletico PR on 18 Oct. The defence still looked calm and kept a clean sheet in that match, while Fluminense had just lost 1-2 to Santos in Serie A on the same day, a home defeat that showed there are still gaps to exploit in their defence, especially late in games when Palmeiras often score from counter-attacks. This game is likely to play out with Palmeiras dominating the ball and pushing high, while Fluminense sit back and wait for the counter. If Fluminense score first the game opens up immediately, because Palmeiras will have to push forward and may leave space behind for Fluminense to use their pace.
