Andreas Pereira shines for Palmeiras despite few games, see stats | OneFootball

Palmeiras thrashed Fortaleza 4-1 this Saturday at Allianz Parque, in the 24th round of the Brasileirão Championship. Andreas Pereira, who came on in the second half and scored two goals, was once again one of the main protagonists in the Verdão’s victory.

The midfielder, who recently joined Verdão, has already secured a starting spot in Abel Ferreira’s team and has been standing out with impressive numbers. Since his debut against Internacional last Saturday (13th), Andreas is the second player in the squad with the most direct goal involvements, totaling two goals and one assist in just three matches—only one of them as a starter.

In addition to his direct contributions, he created four chances and had 13 offensive actions during this period, with only 117 minutes on the pitch.

The overall numbers are also impressive, according to data from SofaScore. Andreas has an 82% pass accuracy rate and a 75% success rate in long passes, in addition to winning 55% of total duels and recovering eight balls since putting on the Palmeiras shirt.

Andreas Pereira further increases the competition for a spot among the starters. The place in the starting lineup, which he occupied against River Plate last Wednesday (17th) in the 2-1 win in the Libertadores quarterfinals, has also been filled by Facundo Torres, Maurício, and Raphael Veiga.
