Vitoria vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting tips
While the European football leagues are slowly heading for the winter break, the South American leagues are entering the final phase. So also in the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol, the highest Brazilian league. With five games to go, Esporte Clube Vitória scores points in the match against reigning champions Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras on Wednesday night’s night at 00:45 CET. While Palmeiras can imagine at least theoretical chances for the renewed championship, Vitória is one of the four relegation places. Not only because of the table situation, we recommend a tip on the visiting team from Sao Paulo. Finally, Palmeiras clearly won the last five direct duels with Vitoria and we can see no reason why this series should break in the upcoming game.
Vitoria :
After the thirty-third matchday, the Esporte Clube Vitória is in seventeenth place with a score of 9-8-15, a goal difference of 40:49 and thirty-five points. The gap to the first non-relegation zone is currently only one point, but behind Vitoria are two teams with the same score on the watch. The hopes to escape the relegation whirlpool already in the upcoming game a little way, are low. Coach Mancini Vagner’s men are the second-worst team in Brazilian Serie A with only three points from the last five games. Even Atletico GO, the bottom and the weakest in the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol team, only managed a meager 1 in the penultimate game : 1-draw after losing the games against Atlético-PR (2: 3) and Bahia (1: 2). Last weekend, Vagner-Elf scored another small success with another 1-1 draw against the club of Regatas Vasco da Gama. Finally, Vasco is in the upper half of the table and still plays for a place that would entitle to participate in the Copa Libertadores – the South American Champions League.
Palmeiras :
In contrast to the upcoming opponents, the Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras is back in the top flight of the table, but has eight points behind the leader but probably only theoretical chances for the second championship in series. However, chances for direct participation in the Copa Libertadores in the next season are very good. Because Palmeiras is with a 16-6-10 balance, a goal difference of 50:36 and fifty-four points in fourth place. The lead in sixth place, which would mean the detour over the qualification, amounts already to reassuring six points. The chances of winning the upcoming game are also promising. Finally, the team of coach Alexi Stival – aka Cuca – is currently the second-best Brazilian team. After three wins against Atletico GO (3: 1), Ponte Preta (2: 0) and Gremio (3: 1) and a draw against Cruzeiro (2: 2), it put a damper on last weekend. However, the Cuca team lost to the undisputed leader Corinthians in the end just 2: 3 and was quite equal, so that in this top game, a draw would have been earned.
