Competition: Brazil Serie A
Competition: Sun 26.June
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva (17800 seats)

This looks to be an action-packed fixture as Avaí have their presumed home advantage, while Palmeiras lead them by 11 points in the Serie A standings.

Insights:
  • Avaí have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Palmeiras have the most scored goals (25) in Serie A

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa do Brasil. That game was also an away game, at São Paulo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Avaí form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva as Avaí have scored 11 goals to get 13 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

No payout for Avaí in their previous match, an away game at Fluminense that ended in defeat 0-2. Bressan was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.31 out of 10. The defender Bressan won 4 of 7 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fortaleza in a game that was won 3-2.

A decent goal production from Avaí in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches. Avaí have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Palmeiras form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses in the Serie A.

Two away games in a row for Palmeiras, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 vs São Paulo in the Copa do Brasil. Gómez, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.43. Gómez won 7 of 10 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus São Paulo at their stadium, the result 2-1.

The schedule is very tough for Palmeiras now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Libertadores game at Cerro Porteno is waiting in only three days.

The travelling fans enjoy Palmeiras's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. The Palmeiras defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 6 games).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the previous ten meetings between these two sides are: one win for Avaí, zero draws and nine wins for Palmeiras. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
