Santo Andre vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting Tips (12 February)

To say that Santo Andre come into this contest in poor form would be somewhat of an understatement, with the Paulista strugglers suffering 10 defeats in their previous 14 top-flight matches. Although Palmeiras have not been firing on all cylinders this season, the fact remains that the Palmeiras have enjoyed eight wins in their last 10 fixtures at this level.

Over the course of their last 19 away matches in the second tier of the Paulista, high-flying Palmeiras have been involved in no fewer than 16 encounters in which under 3.5 goals have been served up. The figures are identical for Santo Andre across their previous 19 home games in the Paulista, so it would come as a surprise to see anything different in this clash.

When Palmeiras come calling in the Paulista, excitement tends to be in short supply, with at least one of the two teams pitching a shutout in 12 of their previous 17 away games. It has been a similar story as far as Santo Andre are concerned on their own patch of late, with both teams on target in just two of their last nine matches at this level, so something similar seems likely.
