Palmeiras will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 7 points behind Atlético Mineiro.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa do Brasil. That game was an away game at Bragantino, so at least Palmeiras are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Palmeiras form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Palmeiras have managed 2 wins, 4 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Palmeiras, their manager V. Luxemburgo da Silva and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
It's back home for Palmeiras, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Bragantino away with the result 3-1. Luiz Adriano, Raphael Veiga and Wesley found the net in that victory. In the game before, an away victory in the Serie A match versus Atlético GO with a 3-0 scoreline.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Bragantino are coming to town in three days.
