Avai vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting Tips - Brasileirão Serie A

Avai host Palmeiras at the Ressacada in a hugely anticipated game. The home team are much improved this season and are currently sitting in eleventh place, while Abel Ferreira’s machine of a team are first and aiming for another triumph. The home team are in mixed form at the moment. They might have two wins from their last three, yet those were the team’s first wins after a five game winless run. They have been off to a good start however with seventeen points from their thirteen league matches. With regards to their home form, thirteen points in their six games so far tell all the story, with the hosts having lost just once in their last seven games at the Ressacada and scoring in all their league games there this season.

Palmeiras are in relentless form at the moment. The appointment of Abel Ferreira two and half years ago was a history making turning point that has already offered Palmeiras two consecutive Copa Libertadores triumphs and nothing indicates they will stop there. Their latest loss to Sao Paulo for the first round of the cup put an end to an impressive unbeaten streak of nineteen games in a row. Simultaneously, it also ended Palmeiras scoring streak, which lasted for thirty one games. Their away form is similarly impeccable with seven wins of their last eight but there are signs recently that maybe the games on all fronts have started to take a bit of a toll on the players. This will be fourth match in ten days and will be played three days prior to a crucial Copa Libertadores game away in Paraguay, so rotation is to be expected. The team also played Sao Paulo twice in four days for league and cup and have conceded in all of their last three games.
