Fifth placed Cortiba host the Serie A leaders Palmeiras looking to maintain their impressive home form. Cortiba have won four and drawn one of their five home fixtures this season. That's the best record in Serie A at the time of writing this preview. They begin this match four points behind their opponents but would likely be ahead of them but for their poor away form. Only two points have been earned from five games on the roadwith two losses and to sides in the bottom five. They need to either improve that or keep getting the wins on home soil. Cortiba are unbeaten in their last three Serie A matches but the last two have both ended in draws. In both of those matches, they trailed and needed a second half equalizer to get a point. Cortiba are unbeaten in their last ten home league games and had won four in a row before the 1-1 draw with Sao Paulo.

Palmeiras begin the weekend a point clear at the top of Serie A. If Corinthians win on Saturday, that'll drop Palmeiras down to second in the table. The league leaders have won five of their ten league games this season with four draws and just one loss at home to Caera. They lost that one 3-2 in their season opener and only won one of their first five fixtures of the new Serie A table. Four of their last five matches have been won and no goals have been conceded by them. Palmeiras have seven clean sheets in the league this season with three on the road, where just one goal has been conceded. Getting a win at Cortiba won't be an easy task considering the home form of the host. Go for a double chance bet on Cortiba to win or draw this game.
