Portuguesa vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting Tips (28 February)

Palmeiras have secured an impressive 33 points from the last 35 available in the Paulista, with the coach charges winning all six of their games on the road during this period. The form of Portuguesa could not be much more contrasting, with their previous 11 matches at this level resulting in no wins, four draws and eight defeats.

Palmeiras have clearly found a recipe that works for them on their Paulista travels this season, collecting some points from 15 matches, all of which have produced three goals or fewer. What’s more, seven of the previous eight Portuguesa home games at this level have also been of the under 3.5 goals variety, so there is no reason to expect anything different here.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Portuguesa matches on their own patch in the Paulista, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Palmeiras away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
