Action from the Brazilian top flight is up next with a clash between 3rd placed Palmeiras and fourth from bottom, Fluminense, as the betting tips continue in Serie A at the Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo.
Palmeiras Prediction – Can Palmeiras close gap on top two?
Despite playing a third away match on the trot in the Brazilian top flight, Palmeiras ended a sequence of 7 matches without a win in Serie A when they registered a much-needed 2-1 win away at Goias which has kept them in the frame for automatic qualification for the Libertadores.
Palmeiras will no doubt be relieved to be returning to home turf at their Allianz Parque for Tuesday night’s clash with struggling Fluminense, where the hosts still remain unbeaten in their own backyard with an overall home record of 5-2-0 15/3 which includes an impressive 5 clean sheets.
The hosts have recorded wins over Fortaleza, Internacional, Santos, Athletico PR and Avai so far this season but have been slowed down by recent back-to-back draws with Vasco da Gama and Bahia, so Palmeiras will be keen to return to winning ways here.
Overall, Palmeiras possess an excellent record on home turf in Serie A as they’ve now put together an unbeaten record of 22 matches, and within this sequence they’ve covered the -1 asian handicap in 11 of these 22, and they’ve won 6 of the last 7 meetings against Fluminense.
Fluminense Prediction – Can Fluminense lift themselves out of bottom four?
Fourth from bottom, Fluminense, put a halt to a 3-match losing streak last time out in the Brazilian top flight when they registered a 1-0 win away at 13th placed Fortaleza which would have been a relief for the visitors but they still remain in the relegation zone ahead of this upcoming difficult trip to high-flying Palmeiras.
Recent defeats to Atletico Mineiro, CSA and Avai set the visitors back in their quest to lift themselves out of the bottom four, but although they won last time out, an overall away record of 2-1-5 12/17 includes just 1 win out of their last 6 matches on their travels.
Indeed, the bigger picture shows us that Fluminense possess a woeful record away from home as the visitors have managed to gain just 3 wins out of their last 19 matches on their travels, which includes the visitors failing to score in 8 of these last 19 matches as well.
To rub salt into their wounds, Fluminense have kept just 2 clean sheets out of these last 19 away matches while conceding 2 goals or more in 13 of these 19 matches, so this upcoming clash doesn’t bode well for the visitors.
Key-Facts – Palmeiras v Fluminense
- Palmeiras are unbeaten in their last 22 matches at home in Serie A
- Fluminense have won just 3 out of their last 19 matches on their travels
- Palmeiras have won 6 of the last 7 meetings against Fluminense
Betting Tips Verdict
Palmeiras possess an excellent record at home and they should be able to grab another vital win here and cover the asian line too.
