Bitesize Prediction: Palmeiras vs Corinthians – 02/07/24

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Palmeiras win

Odds: 1/2 @ Pribet

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways in the early hours of Tuesday, Palmeiras will welcome Corinthians to the Allianz Parque.

Starting with the hosts, putting in a nightmare performance over the weekend as they eventually fell to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Fortaleza, Palmeiras will be desperate to claim an immediate response here. Nevertheless, despite missing out on the chance to reclaim their spot at the top of the Serie A standings, the Big Green are pencilled in as a standout contender to defend their domestic crown this season. Still collecting 15 points from their previous six top-flight appearances, Abel Ferreira’s men should be smelling a real opportunity in the early hours of Tuesday. Breezing their way to a Copa Libertadores knockout stage ticket last month, Palmeiras will also be excited to Mae a return to home soil in midweek. Last seen at the Allianz Parque claiming a routine 3-1 victory against Juventude, Ferreira’s side have won their previous three consecutive home fixtures by an aggregate score of 7-2. It should also be noted, the Greens have suffered just a single domestic defeat in front of their own supporters since the middle of April.

As for the visitors, although Corinthians might have opened up the 2024 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine top-six charge, the Timao are in the midst of a real Serie A struggle. Missing out on what they billed as a potential opportunity over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Cuiaba, Antonio Oliveira’s men have failed to collect a single victory from any of their previous eight top-flight appearances. With that run stemming all the way back to April 28th, the former Benfica boss finds his squad at the heart of a relegation scrap. Struggling to find any kind of stability this season and coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Tuesday’s guests will be bracing themselves for a heavyweight examination here. Failing to muster a single Serie A victory on their travels since opening up the 2024 campaign, they also hold a nightmare record at the Allianz Parque. It should be highlighted, Corinthians have failed to win any of their last eight consecutive trips to the raging Serie A champions.
