Palmeiras vs Bragantino Prediction

The game is too close to call at this point in time as both teams have had their own share of struggles this season. Bragantino, on one hand, have found it increasingly difficult to find the back of the opposition's net while Palmeiras have struggled enormously in their defensive transitions.

Palmeiras will also have to do a lot to improve their current form.

Bragantino will at least gain some confidence from the recent draw to a much-fancied Atletico Mineiro and will look to build on that.

Nevertheless, a draw is on the cards.

Prediction: Palmeiras 1-1 Bragantino
