Palmeiras vs Vitoria Prediction & Betting Tips (28 July)

Palmeiras have made the most of home advantage recently, winning ten of their previous 13 matches in front of their own supporters as they bid to gain promotion from the Serie A. Vitoria have not exactly been pulling up too many trees on their travels, suffering seven defeats in 13 fourth-tier trips to dent their quest for a playoff place.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in Palmeiras home games in the Serie A recently, with 18 of the previous 20, including nine on the bounce of late, subscribing to this particular scoring model. What’s more, eight of the last nine Vitoria away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, so three goals or fewer are expected when the sides meet.

One area in which Palmeiras have proven incredibly consistent recently is in their involvement in top-flight fixtures in which at least one of the two goalkeepers pitches a shutout, with this happening 13 times in 14 attempts. This has also been the case in seven of the last 11 matches involving Vitoria at this level, so more of the same is expected when the teams lock horns.
