Avai take on the visitors Palmeiras in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, June 26th at Ressacada (Florianópolis).
Avai obviously sets himself the most modest goals, but is confidently moving towards their implementation. The Island Lions are a classic example of a "football lift" that periodically moves from Serie B "up" - and back. Despite the fact that they managed to return to the elite only following the results of the last draw, and only from the 4th place, it was obvious that this particular team was considered as one of the main outsiders of this draw. But the tasks became clear: to somehow cling to survival in Serie A. So far, it has been more than successful. The newcomer quickly enough and, most importantly, consistently took points. Against this background, 0-2 with Fluminense in the last match looks like a setback.

Palmeiras continues to play well under Abel Ferreira. "Piglets" were quite successful before this mentor. In 2016 and 2018, it was possible to take 1st place in Brasileirao. With the Portuguese, they managed to win the Copa Libertadores twice in a row. Now the giant manages to simultaneously successfully play both on the international and domestic arenas. In the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilians showed 100% result, taking 18 points in 6 matches in the group stage. The picture in Brasileirao is less ideal, there was even a defeat, and draws (especially at the start, when they won only 1 match out of 5). But still, gradually, building up success, the club was able to climb to the leading position in Serie A. And suddenly came 0-1 defeat with Sao Paulo, albeit in the cup! We need to prove now that this is a one-time misfire.
Avai has only won once since the summer of 2010. But, in addition to that misfire, in all 9 recent meetings, Palmeiras invariably won. Including in 2019, when the “island lions” last rose in Serie A, the “Piglets” won both matches. Palmeiras is very good now, and after the failure in the cup he will come out with maximum focus.
Prediction for the match: Palmeiras to win.
