Santos vs Palmeiras: Match preview
Santos did not make the best start to the season, but they gradually began picking up points and now find themselves relatively high in the table, battling for a place in international competitions. They have collected 46 points from 32 rounds and sit eighth in the standings. They are five points behind fifth place. With six rounds still to play, Santos have a chance to challenge for a Copa Libertadores spot. Overall, however, it has been a fairly solid season for the team.
Palmeiras sit higher in the standings and are currently fighting for the Brazilian title. The team have collected 69 points from 32 matches and are just one point behind the league leaders. With six rounds remaining, the title race is still wide open. This is particularly significant given that Flamengo are set to face Palmeiras in a head-to-head clash. That match could prove decisive. However, Palmeiras must continue performing consistently and collecting points to put themselves in the best possible position.
Probable lineups
- Santos: Diogenes, João Alencar, Luan Peres, Rodinei, Barreal, Philippe Coutinho, Gabriel Bontempo, Gustavo Henrique, Gabi, Everton, Neymar
- Palmeiras: Carlos Miguel, Gómez, Giay, Bruno Fuchs, Barboza, Arthur Gabriel, Marlon Freitas, Lucas Evangelista, Arias, Maurício, Sosa
Prediction
We can expect an exciting clash between two very strong teams, both of whom have plenty to fight for. I suggest betting on both Santos and Palmeiras to score.
