Sunday 2nd August 2015 – Kickoff: 1100hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Palmeiras will go in search of a third consecutive victory in the Brazilian Serie A this Sunday when they play host to Atletico PR following back-to-back wins over Santos and a 4-1 thrashing of Vasco da Gama away from home.
Palmeiras now sit in third spot in Serie A thanks to a seven-match unbeaten run which incidentally includes six wins and they currently occupy a Copa Libertadores spot as a result of their fine recent form.
Palmeiras’ overall home record stands at a pretty steady 5-2-1 15/5 having racked up five home wins on the bounce with wins over Fluminense, Sao Paulo, Chapecoense, Avai and Santos while also keeping things tight at the back having kept four clean sheets from these five wins too.
Visitors Atletico PR sit in eighth spot in the Brazilian top flight but this has been largely down to their impressive home form where they’ve won six of their first eight matches along with a draw and one defeat.
Atletico PR come into this match having registered back-to-back wins themselves with victories over Chapecoense and Avai, the latter being their first away win for five matches on the road as they’ve tended to struggle on their travels so far this season.
Atletico’s away record reads a below-par 2-0-5 with both of their away wins coming at bottom half opposition (Joinville and Avai), but they will be severely tested today against the superior opposition of Palmeiras I daresay.
To sum up, I fancy the hosts Palmeiras to secure the points in this one, perhaps winning 2-0 and I’ll give the three-quarter ball for some extra value.
