Palmeiras VS Bragantino

The points gap on the Brasileirao standings between the two sides is already quite notable. Palmeiras sit second on the table with 66 points from 31 matches, recording 19 wins, 9 draws and only 3 losses, backed by a solid defensive record that sees them concede just 22 goals while scoring 54 at the other end. Their opponents Bragantino currently rank 10th, with 41 points picked up across the same number of fixtures, from 11 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses, with 39 goals scored and 36 conceded so far this campaign. Looking at their past five head-to-head meetings, Palmeiras hold a full undefeated edge with 3 wins and 2 draws, with all those fixtures combining for a total of 10 goals. A key flaw observed in Bragantino’s recent away performances is that most of the goals they concede on the road come from momentary lapses in concentration the second their side transitions from attacking to defensive setup.
