Carlos Miguel’s Palmeiras stats four times worse than at Corinthians | OneFootball

Recently signed by Palmeiras, goalkeeper Carlos Miguel is experiencing a turbulent start with the green and white jersey. In just two matches played, the former Corinthians player conceded six goals – an average of three per game, four times higher than recorded in his last season with Corinthians.

The goalkeeper's first appearance was in the 3-2 defeat against Flamengo at Maracanã, in a direct clash for the leadership of the Brazilian Championship, considered the most anticipated of the national competition so far.

The second game took place last Thursday, when Verdão was defeated by LDU 3-0 in Quito, in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal.

In 2024, wearing the Corinthians jersey, Carlos Miguel played 14 matches and was only breached ten times, with an average of 0.71 goals conceded per game. This consistent performance projected him into the international market and subsequently led to his signing with Palmeiras.

Now, the challenge is to turn the situation around and regain confidence. Before the return match against LDU, Palmeiras faces Cruzeiro in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams will face off next Sunday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque.

In the Brasileirão, Abel Ferreira's team leads with 61 points but could be overtaken by Flamengo if the Rio team beats Fortaleza on Saturday.
