Santos have lost by more than 1 goal in just 1 of their last 5 matches (0-3), but Palmeiras have won by more than 1 goal in 3 of their last 5 (1-0, 4-1, 3-0) — this is the tie where head-to-head form clashes most clearly with league form. Santos are at home, where they just won 1-0, while Palmeiras are unbeaten in 4 straight but could only draw 1-1 last time. The system predicts a 2-1 scoreline and gives Santos a close edge in control against Palmeiras (47 to 53), so the game is likely to be open rather than the hosts sitting deep. The 46-60 minute period is when Santos score most (23%), while Palmeiras concede most in the 76-90 minute period (28%) — from the 76th minute onward is when the game will decide whether Santos can hold on for a draw.
