Palmeiras on relegation form over the last five rounds of the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Palmeiras is now far from winning the Brazilian Championship after losing to Grêmio 3-2 this Wednesday at the Grêmio Arena. The Verdão led most of the competition, but recent results have sunk Abel Ferreira's team in the fight for the title. The numbers show that, in the last five rounds, the Alviverde has been performing at a relegation zone level.

Drop in performance

Out of 15 possible points, Palmeiras earned only two in the last five games. The Verdão drew at home with Vitória and Fluminense and lost as visitors to Mirassol, Santos, and Grêmio.

Considering all the teams in the Brasileirão only in the last five rounds, Palmeiras would be in 18th place, thus in the relegation zone. The Verdão was only better than Vasco and Sport, who are on a negative streak of five consecutive defeats.

Distant title

Now, Palmeiras is far from winning the Brazilian title, with just over a 2% chance. To win the trophy, the Verdão needs to win its two games (against Atlético-MG and Ceará) and hope that Flamengo does not win any of its matches.

Palmeiras has 70 points against Flamengo's 75, both with 36 games played. The teams are now focusing on the big final of the Copa Libertadores, this Saturday, at 5 PM (Brasília time), in Lima.
