Palmeiras vs Vitoria prediction: Hosts will be tough to stop
Key Stats
- Palmeiras have won each of their last seven home matches in Serie A.
- Palmeiras scored exactly two goals in five of their last seven home fixtures.
- Vitoria failed to score in two of their last four assignments in the Brazilian top tier.
- Palmeiras were winning at half time in each of their last three home tests.
Correct score prediction: Palmeiras 2-0 Vitoria
Palmeiras have lost each of their last two away games, however, they are a formidable force on home soil where they have won seven matches on the spin, scoring exactly twice in five of the same fixtures. Low-scoring Vitoria failed to score against Palmeiras in April and they could toil in the final third again in this weekend’s rematch

- HOME: 1/3 (1.33) – 75%
- DRAW: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
- AWAY: 9/1 (10.00) – 10%

Player to watch – Aníbal Moreno
Tough tackling Argentinean anchorman Anibal Moreno brings steel to the Palmeiras midfield and the 25-year-old has been averaging 1.40 tackles and 2.10 interceptions per game in Serie A this season.
Moreno walking a disciplinary tightrope
Moreno, who joined Palmeiras from Racing Club in his homeland during the off-season, needs to time his tackles properly this weekend or he risks a suspension. Moreno has already been carded four times this term and one more caution would trigger a ban.
