Avai vs Palmeiras Prediction: The teams will exchange goals

Corinthians failed to break down Santos yesterday, so Palmeiras maintained their lead in the Serie A. And now, the unbeaten leader will face Avai on the road.

In their last five games, Avai has achieved two victories over Fortaleza and Botafogo, drew against São Paulo, and lost twice to Atletico Go and Fluminense in the previous round. The statistics are good for a mid-table side, and the Avai is in 12th position in the league standings. Their home statistics are seventh in the division, +4=1-1, 11:8 goal difference. We note Avaya's relatively high performance in home games.

The reigning Libertadores Cup winners lost 0:1 to Sao Paulo in the Brazilian Cup at the Morumbi. Before that, the Greens had a 4-match winning streak over Botafogo, Coritiba, Atletico Go, and the same Sao Paulo in the national championship alone. The Cup failure can still be rectified because the return match is ahead at home. In the tournament, after Corinthians' draw with Santos, Verdao has an excellent opportunity to take a five-point lead, but for that, they need to bring the victory, and it will not be easy. Palmeiras has the best away statistics in the division, +4=2-0, 9:2 goal difference, and 14 points.

We have noticed that Avai has been performing well at home and has been very productive in home games. Palmeiras has the best defense in the league, but we doubt that the Greens will be able to avoid conceding on Sunday. Regarding outcomes, we suggest betting on the visitors, as Palmeiras is motivated after their derby defeat to Sao Paulo.
