Palmeiras vs Bragantino Prediction & Betting Tips - Brasileirão Serie A

Defending Brazilian Serie A Champions Palmeiras will look to get their season on track when they host a tricky game against Atletico Bragantino on matchday ten.

This match at the Allianz Parque in São Paulo on Friday will see the hosts start fifth with 17 points and two behind leaders Botafogo. The visitors are seventh with 15 points and could replace their hosts with a win here.

Palmeiras had a below-par start to the season, winning only two matches in their first six matches of the campaign. That has seen them fall behind in the title defence, but recent weeks have seen them improve their fortunes. The hosts have won their last three matches in a row, including a 4-0 win over Atletico in the last round. That clean sheet continues their impressive defensive record, having conceded only four goals this season.

With only two points separating the top five sides ahead of this round, the top half looks congested and closer. Not too far are the visitors, who could get into the top-five spots with a win here. That’s easier said than done, though, as Bragantino hasn’t been consistent in recent weeks. They have won just two of their last six league games, drawing and losing two games each.

Crucially, away form looks equally inconsistent, as Bragantino have won just one of their four away league games this season. That result came on their last trip, though, in a 2-0 win at Gremio.
