Fifth round in the Brazilian Serie A with Palemeira favorite for a victory as they are up against the last in line Avai.

Palmeiras with a good run so far, two victories and two draws leading to a total of 8 points and the current 3rd spot of the table, 4 points short of leaders Sao Paulo.

Superb form for them on home ground with no less than 11 victories in the last 13 matches played in all ! competit ions, mostly due to their great defensivestrength.

Avai managed only one point,in all 4 games played so far and are up against an uphill battle early on if they are to repeat last years performance and avoid relegation.

No need to say that their away statistic is extremely poor with their last victory dating back in April and although their defense is weak they manage to score on a regular basis setting us up for a spectacular encounter regarding the scoreline.

My pick: Palmeiras to win ( over 2.5 goals )
