Palmeiras are entering the Copa Libertadores final round as 2nd placed team in Group F and need just one more point to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Their results have been great in Serie A this season, topping the table with 38 points after 17 rounds, seven points ahead of Flamengo, who Palmeiras beat 3-0 last weekend.
In their most recent Copa Libertadores clash, the Green and Whites had 74% possession, 0.98-0.62 expected goals and 11-7 shots but still lost the encounter 1-0.
Visitors Sitting Bottom of the Table
Junior FC are having a disappointing run in the Copa Libertadores, sitting bottom of the group after securing just four points in five matches.
They looked solid in the opening round in a 1-1 draw against Palmeiras, but then lost three games in a row, twice to Cerro Porteno (1-0 on both occasions) and Sporting Cristal 2-0.
Series of draws and won penalty shootouts got them to the Primera A playoff finals, but the overall performances have been underwhelming in the last two months.

Verdict
Junior FC are out of the playoff picture and will try to preserve fitness for upcoming Primera A finals in Colombia. I am backing the Serie A table leaders to win without conceding.
