Palmeiras seek to extend home run in penultimate Allianz clash | OneFootball

Palmeiras is just two games away from saying goodbye to Allianz Parque this season. The team led by coach Abel Ferreira hosts Vitória on Wednesday night, in an advanced match from the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship, trying to preserve their unbeaten streak at home.

Currently, the club is on a run of 12 games without defeat at home. That’s 10 wins and two draws. The last loss was at the beginning of August, when they lost 2-0 to Corinthians in the return leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In the Brasileirão alone, the streak is the same.

In the national championship, Palmeiras has not lost at home since May. The last and second defeat for Verdão at home was a 2-0 loss to Flamengo in the 10th round of the competition. After that, the team recorded two draws and 10 wins, nine of them consecutive. The latest was a 2-0 win in the derby against Santos, with goals from Vitor Roque.

After the match against Vitória, Palmeiras will return to Allianz Parque just one more time. Verdão’s last home fixture will be against Fluminense this Saturday, for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Vitória broke Palmeiras’ streak in 2024

Palmeiras has not beaten Vitória in two games. In the last clash between the teams, in 2024, Leão came out on top at Allianz Parque, winning 2-0. On that occasion, they ended Verdão’s run of eight consecutive home victories.

Palmeiras’ situation in the Brasileirão

Palmeiras lost the lead in the Brazilian Championship last Saturday after a 1-0 defeat to Santos, in a postponed match from the 13th round of the competition. Verdão is currently the runner-up, with 68 points, three fewer than Flamengo, who leads with 71.
