*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Palmeiras’ form has started to pick up in the league after a sluggish start and a return of two wins from their last three Serie A fixtures should set them up for more success against struggling Vasco da Gama this week. The hosts have been installed as 2/5 favourites to succeed by the bookies.
Vasco da Gama have conceded a whopping 17 times in just seven league fixtures this term and with their leaky defence a factor, the bookmakers have given them just an 11.8% chance of earning a victory at Allianz Parque. You can find more of our top predictions over on our betting tips page.

Player to watch – Anibal Moreno
Anibal Moreno will be without his usual midfield partner Richar Rios this week due to the latter’s involvement with Colombia at the upcoming Copa America, and the Palmeiras anchorman should have more responsibility to shoulder in his foil’s absence.
Moreno to take command
Moreno is a new face at Palmeiras having joined the club from Argentinean club Racing Club in his homeland. The 25-year-old has already notched twice for his new employers, though he is better known for his Anibal Moreno tough tackling and Moreno should add to his modest two-card tally soon.
