*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Vasco da Gama have put together an excellent string of results, however, despite going ten games unbeaten, the hosts remain 29/10 underdogs in the match result markets ahead of Sunday’s face off.
Palmeiras are just two points off the top in Serie A, though they failed to win six of their last seven tests on the road and they offer little value at 9/10 to win this weekend. Discover more Brazilian football tips on our football predictions page.

Player to watch – Estevao
Estevao, the 17-year-old sensation from Palmeiras, has been turning heads this season with his electrifying performances in the final third. In just 10 Série A matches, the winger has racked up four goals and three assists, proving to be a consistent game-changer for Palmeiras.

Wonderkid Estevao worth watching
Estevao’s dazzling dribbling and sharp vision have been instrumental in keeping Palmeiras in the hunt for the Serie A title this season. With a move to Chelsea already confirmed for 2025, Estevao is already showing glimpses of a star in the making.
