Going in the matchup, Palmeiras stands 2nd with 4 wins and 13 points, whereas Red Bull Bragantino stands 15th with just a win and 6 points from 5 matches played so far in the contest. With both teams having continued injury constraints, the upcoming matchup could have few new faces in both lineups at halftime.

Since March 2022, the two have played four matches against each other, and Palmeiras has won three and drawn a fixture. Hence, the upcoming matchup will have Palmeiras as favorite for winning and dominating the guests. 

Going in the matchup against Red Bull Bragantino, Palmeiras is coming off a perfect win in the last home match against Gremio (4-1), in which Raphael Veiga scored the opening goal with the assist made by Mayke. Next, Raphael Veiga struck a goal on penalty, followed by goals from Mayke and Luan Garcia. With 58% possession and 10 shots on target, Palmeiras dented the opposition, improving their goal difference significantly.
