Expert Betting Tips

Palmeiras will have some changes at the start lineup, but this shouldn't be a problem. The Palmeira’s squad is by far one of the bests in Brazil, so you should expect another victory for the away side, which should qualify without much trouble. Tombense has a real possibility to score, mostly because Palmeira’s defense it’s not solid, and has been making mistakes. But, it’s unlikely that Tombense can score a lot of goals. However, Palmeiras's attack probably will score 1 or more goals.
