Palmeiras seek to rediscover home form against Vasco in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Palmeiras return to action this Sunday (23) to face Vasco at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Nubank Parque in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leaders of the competition with 48 points, Verdão head into the match after securing a place in the Libertadores quarterfinals and will look to make the most of home advantage to regain consistency in the national tournament.

Abel Ferreira’s side have won only one of their last four home matches

Despite a consistent campaign throughout the season, their recent home form is a cause for concern. In their last four matches at home, Palmeiras have managed just one win, along with two draws and one defeat. The record marks a drop compared to the excellent results the team had been producing in front of their fans.

Verdão currently sit fourth in the Brasileirão home standings, behind Athletico-PR, Fluminense and Vitória. The match against Vasco therefore represents an opportunity for Abel Ferreira’s team to regain their strength at their own stadium and extend their lead at the top of the table.

The moment also calls for a response. Palmeiras lost 3-2 to Fluminense in the previous round and saw Flamengo close the gap in the race for first place.

On the other side, Vasco come into the match under pressure after a 3-0 defeat to Santos and are in the relegation zone.
