Palmeiras, in turn, had prepared for the season quite well and have already take the lead in the Serie A with 22 points and 21-10 goal difference after 10 matches played. The visitors are undefeated in their last six matches in a row with 16 points gained. However, the away form of the team isn’t impressive as they have gained only four points in four matches and 5-6 goal difference. These four points were gained in last two clashes on the road with win over Flamengo, 2-1 and 2-2 draw with Coritiba.
Both teams are among the best and the most recognizable ones. The opponents face one another at least 2-3 times each season and none of the sides has obvious advantage in the head-to-heads. Defense was the strongest side of both of the teams this season so there are no reasons to expect the match to turn into a feast of goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
