Palmeiras back at Allianz Parque, synthetic pitch advantage a myth | OneFootball

Palmeiras returns to Allianz Parque after almost three months, and their home debut of the season takes place against Mirassol, for the Brasileirão. Coming back home is important, but saying that the synthetic turf brings a sporting advantage to the team is a myth.

The natural grass was present at Allianz from the end of 2014 to 2019. During this period, the team achieved 72.1% of the points in 151 matches. Since the renovation and installation of the synthetic turf, there have been 191 matches and a success rate of 72.2%.

Palmeiras has the same performance when playing at Allianz Parque, whether on synthetic or natural grass. The myth of sporting advantage is the same as that of injuries. It’s always important to remember that the stadium underwent a complete inspection and received FIFA’s approval to host official matches.
