The Daily Acca: Palmeiras to lay down their title credentials

Flu to extend their winning run

Bet 1: Back Fluminense 3/4 - KO 23:15 BST

Atletico GO have found life tough in the Brazilian top flight, as since their promotion, they have taken just four points from a possible 15, leaving them bottom of the division.

Things don't get any easier tonight, as they have to travel to an in-form, Fluminense side. The hosts have won their last three in all competitions, and they have taken seven points from their three home games - which included matches against Palmeiras and Internacional.

Home advantage to be the difference for Goias

Bet 2: Back Goias @ 12/5 - KO 23:15 BST

Corinthians have been one of the most successful Brazilian clubs in recent years, but they are on the decline at present, and they really do struggle with their away results.

Tiago Nunes is the latest name tasked with turning around the team's fortunes, but they have made a poor start to the season - winning just one of five outings, and taking only one point from three road matches.

The selection aren't doing much better, but they do win their fair share of games at home. They have won one out of two so far this term, and last season they recorded 11 victories out of 19 on this ground.

Leaders to fall to their second defeat

Bet 3: Back Palmeiras @ 1/1 - KO 01:30 BST (Thurs)

Two of the main title contenders for this season meet at Allianz Parque tonight, and despite them being top of the league, I can't see Internacional taking anything from their trip.

The hosts have nine points from their five outings to date, but they are yet to be beaten, and they beat Santos when last in action here.

It's hard to quibble with Internacional's form, as they have won five of six so far this year, but it is worth noting that their sole defeat came away from home, and they were beaten in 11 of their 19 away games last season.
