- Competition: Paulista A1

- Kickoff: 00:35 UTC / 01:35 CET
- Venue: Allianz Parque
When Palmeiras and Novorizontino face off in the early hours of Friday morning, they will be competing for a spot in the Paulista A1 final.
Despite a challenging beginning in the Brazilian premier league, Palmeiras managed to clinch the title for the second consecutive year and are now aiming for the Paulista A1 trophy. Had they not lost to Sao Paulo on penalties in the Supercopa do Brasil final, the green-clad team would already have two titles this season.
Meanwhile, Novorizontino missed the chance for promotion from Serie B, but Tigre do Vale concluded the season positively. The visiting team has a streak of four undefeated games in the league, with three wins and a draw, and also proved to be the exception in their Paulista A1 quarter-final match against Sao Paulo.
Betting Tips Palmeiras vs Novorizontino: Palmeiras to win
Palmeiras continues to triumph at Allianz Parque. The team has been undefeated in thirteen home games since their loss to Atletico Mineiro in October, with twelve wins and one draw. Their latest victory at home was a 5-1 victory against Ponte Preta, and a similar outcome is expected on Friday.
Recently, Novorizontino has been enjoying a successful run, however, their track record against Palmeiras is not impressive. They have failed to secure a win in the previous eight matches against this team, and even faced defeat in six of those games.

Dudu will be unable to participate due to a cruciate ligament injury, but he is the only player on the host team who is injured ahead of Friday’s game.
