Remo seek a climb as Palmeiras’ strong home form looms

Remo’s climb, Palmeiras’ pursuit

Remo are 19th in the Serie A table on 29 points, while Palmeiras sit second on 70 after 33 matches. The 41-point gap sets a stark backdrop, but Remo’s task is clear: use the closing rounds to climb the standings. Palmeiras, meanwhile, will look to keep their strong campaign moving at Nubank Parque.

Palmeiras’ unbeaten run

Palmeiras are unbeaten in ten league matches and have taken four wins and a draw from their last five, scoring nine goals and conceding one. Their most recent league outing was a draw. At home, they have won 12 of 16 matches, with three draws and one defeat, and have conceded just 10 goals.

Remo’s latest league result was a win. Across their last five, they have one victory, three draws and a defeat, scoring and conceding four goals. Their away record is more difficult: two wins, four draws and 10 defeats in 16 matches, with 14 goals scored and 29 conceded.

May’s meeting ended level

The teams drew 1-1 when they met in May. That is their only listed meeting, leaving neither side with a win in the head-to-head record.

Absences to monitor

Palmeiras are without Jefte, Paulinho and R. Sosa through injury. Remo are missing Gabriel Poveda, Joao Lucas and Matheus Felipe, while Marlon is questionable.

Remo need a sharper attack

Remo have scored 36 goals and conceded 51 in 33 league matches, with only four clean sheets. Palmeiras’ record is considerably stronger: 56 goals scored, 22 conceded and 16 clean sheets. The home side’s defensive record and recent form will make it difficult for Remo to find the goals needed to turn a positive result into a climb up the table.

Our prediction

Palmeiras’ home strength and ten-match unbeaten run point to the hosts controlling the contest, while Remo’s away record suggests they may struggle to create enough. PreviaXI’s model also favours Palmeiras, with a two-goal home win its most likely scoreline.
