Part 2/5:
The Implications of Recent Matches
Palmeiras supporters are thrilled at the notion that the pressure is back on Botafogo. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that the situation is not as straightforward for Palmeiras. They are not solely reliant on their results but must also consider the quality and consistency of both their own performance and that of their competitors.
Palmeiras has dropped significant points this season against teams like Fortaleza and Bragantino, in addition to losses to Atlético Paranaense and Internacional. If they had maintained those leads, the standings could look vastly different, positioning them as clear champions with the right momentum.
