Palmeiras vs Portuguesa
Today we have one of the classic duels in Paulista championship when Palmeiras and Portuguesa meet each other at Paulo Machado de Carvalho Stadium tonight. This two teams have a lot of history between them but this days they are in very different situations.
Whether the Palmeiras is leader of his group, Portuguesa will certainly look for a triumph here to continue their dream about play off phase of this competition. Although last two meetings of this great rivals is finish in draw, I see only one team to continue his path of triumphs, knowing that if it does, they go to the quarterfinals for sure and I see them as a really strong candidate to win the championship.
Playmaker Jorge Luís Valdivia remains out due injury concerns but very talented William Mendieta is ready to replace him. Alan Kardec is in good shape and we will see him tonight for sure while Bruno César former Benfica player lurking his place in the eleven.
Argel Fucks takes in charge on Portuguesa bench few weeks ago and we must say that team is really evolved under his influence. They come into this match after two consecutive wins but I must say that was on their own turf. Palmeiras does not tasted defeat in last 23 games in front of their fans and I'm sure that magnificent run will continue tonight.
Tip: Palmeiras
Odds: 1.62
