Saturday also brings us action from the Brazilian top flight with Palmeiras playing host to Vasco da Gama as the betting tips continue at the Allianz Parque.
Palmeiras Prediction – Can Palmeiras return to winning ways?
Although Palmeiras haven’t won their last two matches in the Brazilian top flight, Saturday’s hosts still remain top of Serie A.
A 1-1 draw at Sao Paulo was followed by a 2-0 loss away at Ceara which has now left the league leaders level on points with 2nd placed Santos.
The hosts also drew 2-2 away at Argentinian club, Godoy Cruz, in the Copa Libertadores, so they’ll no doubt be keen to get back to winning ways in this clash.
It’s worth mentioning that the two recent matches that Palmeiras didn’t win in Serie A were both away from home, but results at home have been excellent.
An impressive 100% home record stands at 5-0-0 12/0 and includes wins against Fortaleza, Internacional, Santos, Athletico PR and Avai – all to nil.
Indeed, such has been Palmeiras’s dominance on home turf at their Allianz Parque that they’ve won their last 18 home matches on the trot.
13 of Palmeiras’s last 18 home matches have also seen the hosts keep a clean sheet, so Vasco da Gama will have their work cut out here.
Vasco da Gama Prediction – Can Vasco da Gama record first away win?
Despite winning 3 of their last 4 matches in the Brazilian top flight, Vasco da Gama are still looking for their first away win of the season.
The visitors occupy 15th place on the Serie A ladder but this is largely due to their solid form on home turf at their Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama.
All 3 of their wins so far this season have been recorded in their own backyard with victories over Internacional, Ceara and Fluminense.
As yet though, Vasco have failed to transfer their form at home to that of their away matches, having lost 4 of their last 5 on the road.
An away record of 0-1-4 3/11 includes defeats at Athletico PR, Santos, Botafogo and Gremio, so they’ll do well to get anything out of Palmeiras today.
In addition, the visitors have lost 4 of the last 6 encounters against Palmeiras and they’ve managed just 1 away win out of their last 24 away matches overall.
It’s this last statistic which is the damning indication of how poor Vasco da Gama have been on their travels in the Brazilian top flight.
Key-Facts – Palmeiras v Vasco da Gama
- Palmeiras have won their last 18 home matches on the trot in Serie A
- 13 of Palmeiras’s last 18 home matches have seen the hosts keep a clean sheet
- Vasco da Gama have won just 1 of their last 24 away matches in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
Palmeiras’s home record is as good as Vasco’s away record is poor, so anything other than a comfortable home win here would be a major shock.
