- Competition: Paulista A1

- Kickoff: 21:30 UTC / 22:30 CET
- Venue: Estádio Dr. Oswaldo Teixeira Duarte
On Wednesday night, Portuguesa aims to secure consecutive wins for the first time since last September as they host Palmeiras in São Paulo’s top flight.
Since the beginning of the year, the hosts have had minimal reasons to celebrate. Pintado’s team kicked off the new year with a 3-2 victory over Internacional de Limeira, but unfortunately went through a six-game losing streak, with five losses and one draw. However, the Red and Blacks managed to break this streak with a slim 1-0 victory over Guarani in their most recent game. They aim to replicate this performance on Wednesday.
Portuguesa is set to confront Serie A champions Palmeires, who have maintained an unbeaten streak in recent months. In fact, the last time the visitors tasted defeat was over three months ago, against Atlético Mineiro in Brazil’s top flight. Since that loss, Abel Ferreira’s team has enjoyed an impressive run, remaining unbeaten in fourteen games, clinching eight victories and securing four draws.
Portuguesa vs Palmeiras Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Portuguesa will go into Wednesday’s game with an unbeaten streak of two games, primarily due to their strong defence. In those two games, Pintado’s team conceded only one goal, and none of their previous six matches saw more than 2.5 goals.
Recently, Palmeiras have exhibited strong defensive capabilities. In their last seven games, the Green and Whites have only allowed more than one goal in a single match. Furthermore, none of their previous five away matches resulted in more than two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Portuguesa vs Palmeiras prediction: 0-2

Dudu will once again be unavailable to Palmeiras coach Abel due to an injury to his cruciate ligament. However, the left winger is the visitors’ only injury worry.
It is anticipated that Abel will utilize his renowned 3-5-2 formation, featuring Endrick and José Manuel López in the attacking third. Meanwhile, Aníbal Moreno is the player to keep an eye on in the midfield.
