Palmeiras on their best home winning run among Brasileirão clubs | OneFootball

Palmeiras has returned to the top of the Brazilian Championship after 16 rounds and can open up a three-point lead over second-place Flamengo if they win against Juventude in a rescheduled match to be played on Saturday (11th). For this, they rely on a crucial factor: Allianz Parque.

The Verdão club was once the third worst home team up to the first ten rounds of the Brasileirão, but now the team is already the fourth best in terms of home performance, with a 74.36% success rate, behind only Flamengo, Cruzeiro, and Bahia.

The club even traveled to the Club World Cup in June without having won at home in the Brasileirão—the two home victories in the competition had taken place at Arena Barueri. The first win at Allianz came only at the end of July, against Atlético-MG—and since then, there have only been victories at the venue.

Now, in the Brazilian Championship, the team boasts a streak of seven consecutive wins—the Verdão holds the current longest winning streak as a home team in the competition. Considering all competitions, there are five consecutive wins.

Juventude, on the other hand, is the second worst away team, with only five points earned out of 36 contested away from Caxias do Sul—one win and two draws in 12 games. However, they have on the bench coach Thiago Carpini, who was responsible for breaking Palmeiras' seven-game unbeaten run at Allianz Parque in 2024 with Vitória.

The match between Palmeiras and Juventude will be at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque. Verdão is the leader, with 52 points, the same as Flamengo, the runner-up, but with one more win and one game in hand. Juventude is 19th, with 23 points.
