Palmeiras

DWWWWL

Following on from a loss in their previous game against São Paulo in Copa do Brasil competition, Palmeiras and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

A succession of reliable displays from the Palmeiras defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their own attack force has managed to score 12. We shall soon find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Heading into this contest, Palmeiras are undefeated in their last 8 league matches away from home. They really have been good on their travels.

👥 Head to head

A combined sum of 17 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 4 for Leão da Ilha and 13 netted by Verdão. That is an average goals per game value of 2.83.

📰 Team News: Avaí

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Avaí gaffer Eduardo Barroca to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Jean Pyerre (Testicular Cancer) is sidelined.

In all likelihood, Leão da Ilha will possibly use a 4-3-3 system in the match and select Vladimir, Kevin, Arthur Chaves, Bressan, Bruno Cortez, Eduardo Biasi, Raniele, Bruno Silva, William Pottker, Guilherme Bissoli and Muriqui.

📰 Team News: Palmeiras

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is just a single fitness problem for the Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira to be concerned with. Henri (Tibia and Fibula Fracture) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that Verdão appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Weverton, Gustavo Gomez, Luan, Murilo Cerqueira, Joaquín Piquerez, Gabriel Menino, Danilo, Dudu, Gustavo Scarpa, Gabriel Veron and Rony.

🧠 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Avaí will have their work cut out to register a score against this Palmeiras team who we think should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore see a very even contest with a 0-1 win for Palmeiras at the end of the 90 minutes.

Expecting it to be tight.
