Palmeiras have claimed maximum points from their last five league matches and the 1/2 favourites should be able to add a sixth victory to their superb string of results when they host Atletico MG.
Atletico have been struggling on the road and having won only twice in ten attempts on their travels in all competitions, it’s easy to see why they have been priced as 6/1 underdogs ahead of the weekend. View more Brazilian football tips on our football predictions page.

Player to watch – Felipe Anderson
Felipe Anderson left Lazio in Italy to return to his homeland in the summer and Palmeiras’ capture of the winger was seen as something of a coup.
Anderson finally finding form
Anderson has taken some time to get going back in Brazil, though the 31-year-old did manage to score in each of Palmeiras’ last two home matches and he could make a similar impact against Atletico MG.
