Top away side v one of the best at home: Palmeiras face Vitória | OneFootball

Palmeiras and Vitória are set to face off in a clash of opposite, yet equally consistent, campaigns next Wednesday (29), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Barradão, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.

The match pits the best away team in the competition against the fourth-best home team in the Brasileirão. While Verdão built its lead on the back of a solid campaign away from home, the Bahia club has turned Barradão into one of the toughest venues in the championship.

In addition to their impressive away numbers, Palmeiras come into the match under pressure to respond after a 2-1 defeat to Atlético Mineiro in the previous round. Abel Ferreira’s team is looking to get back to winning ways to maintain its lead at the top and regain confidence ahead of the decisive stretch of the season.

On the other side, Vitória are also seeking to bounce back. After losing to Remo in the last round, Rubro-Negro are counting on the strength of their supporters and their strong record in Salvador to start picking up points again and stay firmly in the fight for their goals in the Brasileirão.
