Palmeiras put historic unbeaten Libertadores run on line v Cerro Porteño | OneFootball

Palmeiras takes the field this Wednesday (20) at Allianz Parque, carrying impressive numbers that reinforce the team’s status as favorite in the Conmebol Libertadores.

In addition to the chance to secure an early spot in the round of 16, Verdão will also defend one of the longest unbeaten runs in Brazilian football today. Abel Ferreira’s team has gone 17 matches without a loss, the longest unbeaten streak among clubs in Brazil’s Série A.

At home, the numbers are also eye-catching. Palmeiras has already racked up 32 consecutive matches without defeat as the home team.

Palmeiras’ strength in the Libertadores is impressive

Palmeiras’ home form in the Libertadores is even more dominant. The São Paulo club has not lost at home in the continental competition for 27 matches, with a record of 18 wins and nine draws during that span.

Verdão’s last home defeat in the Libertadores came in May 2021, against Defensa y Justicia.

Since then, Palmeiras has built one of the longest home unbeaten runs in the competition, reinforcing the weight of Allianz Parque on decisive nights in the South American tournament.

Verdão can seal early qualification

Against Cerro Porteño, Palmeiras can mathematically secure a place in the round of 16. In addition, a win combined with a Sporting Cristal slip-up could also guarantee first place in the group ahead of schedule.
