"Starting with the hosts, while Palmeiras might have signed off September with a shock 1-0 loss away at Bahia, the South American icons have proven that toothless performance was nothing more than a minor blip. Last seen mounting a sensational second-half comeback away at local rivals Sao Paulo as they eventually clinched a 3-2 victory, Abel Ferreira's men have skyrocketed their way to the top of the Serie A table."
"Getting October underway with a routine 3-0 romp at home against Vasco, the former Braga boss has seen his squad win six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. In fact, Palmeiras have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their last 13 consecutive outings - a run that stems all the way back to August 7th. It should also be highlighted, Saturday's hosts have won all of their previous five straight showdowns at the Allianz Parque by an aggregate score of 17-3."
Palmeiras sit top of the Serie A table after a strong run of form, winning six of their previous seven matches across all competitions and suffering only one defeat in their last 13 outings. Palmeiras produced a dramatic 3-2 comeback at Sao Paulo and recorded a 3-0 home win over Vasco. The hosts have won their last five home matches at Allianz Parque by a combined 17-3. Juventude sit five points adrift of safety, have won three of their last 14 Serie A matches, and recently lost 2-1 to Fortaleza, marking them as relegation candidates.
