v Vitória, Palmeiras aim to keep streak alive after defeats | OneFootball

Palmeiras take the field this Wednesday (29) against Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Barradão in Salvador with a clear objective: get back to winning ways and maintain an important mark built throughout the season. After the loss to Atlético-MG in the Brazilian Championship, Verdão are looking to repeat a pattern that has been recurring in 2026: responding immediately after a setback.

Despite an excellent campaign this year, Abel Ferreira’s team have suffered only five defeats all season. On the previous four occasions when they were beaten, Palmeiras won their next match, not allowing the loss to turn into a negative run.

Immediate response has been a trademark of Verdão

Consistency has been one of the main strengths of the green-and-white side in 2026. In addition to their strong results across competitions, Palmeiras have shown an ability to bounce back whenever they have stumbled.

In the first four defeats of the season, the team responded with wins in the very next round, showing mental strength and a quick recovery throughout the campaign. Now, after the setback against Atlético-MG, the team are trying to keep that streak alive and prevent the defeat from affecting their Brazilian Championship run.

Best away side faces one of the best home teams

The challenge, however, will not be simple. Palmeiras arrive at Barradão boasting the best away record in the Brasileirão, while Vitória have been excellent at home and rank among the competition’s best home sides.
