Palmeiras hit worst winless run in Brasileirão after draw with Remo | OneFootball

Palmeiras went two rounds without a win in the Brazilian Championship for the first time in this edition of the competition. The draw against Remo this Sunday (10) extended Verdão’s winless run and allowed their rivals to close the gap in the standings.

Before the draw in Belém, Palmeiras had already been held to a 1-1 draw by Santos at Allianz Parque last Saturday (2). With 15 matches played in the Brasileirão, it is the first time Abel Ferreira’s team has gone two consecutive games without a win.

Both matches followed a similar script. Against Santos and Remo, Palmeiras fell behind on the scoreboard and fought back to equalize. In both games, Verdão even managed to come from behind in the closing minutes, but the goals were eventually ruled out for handball.

Palmeiras’ last win came on April 26 against Red Bull Bragantino, in the 13th round, with a goal by Flaco López.

Even without a win in the last two rounds, Palmeiras remains top of the Brazilian Championship with 34 points from 15 matches. Flamengo is second with 28 points and one game in hand. Remo, meanwhile, sits in 19th place with 12 points.

In the Brasileirão, Verdão’s next match will be on Saturday (16) against Cruzeiro at Arena Barueri.

What now?

Before that, Palmeiras turns its attention to the Copa do Brasil. After beating Jacuipense 3-0 in the first leg at Allianz Parque, the team will face the Bahia side this Wednesday (13) at 9:30 p.m. in the return leg. The match will be played in Londrina.
