Palmeiras seek to end poor run v Lucas Lima in Sport clash | OneFootball

Palmeiras will meet a familiar face in the match against Sport, scheduled for this Monday at Allianz Parque, at 7:00 PM (Brasília time), for the 21st round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Verdão will face Lucas Lima, the number 10 of the Pernambuco team, against whom they have not had much success.

In total, the Alviverde team has faced the player on 20 occasions, being defeated in 11 of them. The team managed only six wins and also recorded three draws.

These numbers result in a success rate of just 35%, while Lucas Lima boasts a 60% success rate when facing Palmeiras.

Despite this, the Barra Funda club has never conceded a goal to the attacking midfielder. In the 20 matches, Verdão saw the opponent provide four assists but never find the back of the net.

One of those assists, in fact, happened in the most recent meeting between the sides. However, Palmeiras managed to defeat Lucas Lima and beat Sport 2-1, in a match valid for the second round of the Brasileirão.

Lucas Lima’s Spell at Palmeiras

Lucas Lima played for Alviverde from 2018 to 2022. The midfielder was signed by Palmeiras after standing out as one of Santos’ main players between 2014 and 2017.

However, the performance he showed at his former club was not the same at Palmeiras. Wearing the Verdão shirt, the player scored only 12 goals and provided 20 assists in 165 matches, and his stint did not leave fond memories for Palmeiras fans.
