Palmeiras vs Vitoria Prediction

Palmeiras Form

Showing inconsistent form, Palmeiras lost two of their past three matches, going down 1-0 against Botafogo RJ, before beating Cruzeiro 2-0. The joy was short-lived, as Fluminense proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat. Palmeiras have been nothing short of fabulous at their home ground in the six most recent Serie A matches here. They quite simply claimed a maximum 18 points, scoring 14 while conceding three goals. Naturally, this is the best points total in the Serie A across the last six games.

Vitoria Form

Vitoria endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 3-1 by Fortaleza, before Gremio ran out 2-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Flamengo, who came out 1-2 winners. Vitoria managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 11 time and letting in six.

We expect Palmeiras to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Vitoria. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.

Palmeiras scored 17 goals and conceded seven in their last ten games against teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. They collected 22 points and seven victories. Vitoria claimed zero wins and zero points in their last six games against teams from the top six. They scored four times in these matches, but also conceded 13 goals. Palmeiras have a record of 11 wins, three draws and five defeats in the Serie A this season. Vitoria have a record of four wins, three draws and 12 defeats in the Serie A.
