Against Mirassol, Palmeiras aim for fifth straight clean sheet this season | OneFootball

The recent phase of Palmeiras couldn't be any better. Verdão, who qualified for the final of the Copa Libertadores with an epic comeback against LDU, is also the current leader of the Brazilian Championship. This good form is directly related to the team's great defensive moment, as they haven't conceded a goal in four consecutive matches.

Defensive Wall

Against Mirassol, Verdão will be looking for their fifth straight match without conceding a goal. The streak began with a 0-0 draw against Cruzeiro at Allianz Parque on October 26.

After that, Palmeiras won three games in a row: 4-0 against LDU in the Libertadores, and two 2-0 wins in the Brasileirão, against Juventude and Santos.

Important for the New Arrival

The good defensive moment is also being celebrated by goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, who has only six games with the team. In his first two appearances for Verdão, he conceded six goals, but since then, he has made good saves and hasn't been beaten.

Palmeiras is the leader of the Brazilian Championship with 68 points in 31 games. Meanwhile, Mirassol, the big surprise of the competition, is in fourth place with 56 points in 32 games.
