In a match of the Brazilian Serie A played on April 6, 2025, Palmeiras defeated Sport 2-1 at the Ilha do Retiro in Recife. José López opened the scoring for Palmeiras with a penalty in the 33rd minute. Sport responded with a goal from Chrystian in the 38th minute, leveling the score. The game was eventually decided by a late penalty converted by Joaquín Piquerez in the 91st minute, securing the victory for Palmeiras.
The match statistics reveal a fairly balanced game, with Sport holding slightly more possession (50.1%) compared to Palmeiras (49.9%). However, Palmeiras were more efficient in front of goal, converting 4 of their 7 shots on target, while Sport only managed 2 from 9 attempts. Sport committed fewer fouls (17) than Palmeiras (21), but accumulated more yellow cards (6 against 4).
The AI's pre-game prediction of a Palmeiras win proved accurate. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, which is reflected in Palmeiras' slightly higher team rate (0.7) compared to Sport (0.438) and the predicted win probabilities (44.9% for Palmeiras and 28.4% for Sport).
Looking at the teams' recent form, Sport has been inconsistent, with recent draws in the league and cup competitions, and a mix of wins and draws in Serie B at the end of last year. Palmeiras, while winning their recent Libertadores match, have also had some draws in both Serie A and Campeonato Paulista, suggesting a slight dip in form.
Sport's next match is against Vasco da Gama, who have also been struggling for consistency, alternating between wins and losses. Palmeiras will face Cerro Porteño in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, a team they have dominated in recent head-to-head encounters.
Analyzing the game in relation to previous matches, Palmeiras have generally had the upper hand in recent encounters with Sport, winning most of their matches. Similarly, Palmeiras have dominated Cerro Porteño in past Libertadores matches. Sport's upcoming match against Vasco presents an opportunity to improve their form, but Vasco's home advantage and historical performance against Sport could make it a challenging encounter.
