Ultimately, Palmeiras look just as strong, if not stronger, than they were last year and this isn’t a match we can envisage them dropping points in. Though they are listed as the visitors in this clash, they’ll likely have more of the crowd in the neutral venue and that’s just one of the numerous factors in their favour on Saturday.
All things considered, we’re more than happy to back a Palmeiras win to nil and feel it provides excellent value at current prices. Palmeiras are stronger than Botafogo in all areas, arrive the fresher of the two and shouldn’t be given many issues in running out victors, with a 1-0 Palmeiras win appearing to be on the cards.
