In this Serie A fixture, Santos host Palmeiras, with the home side sitting 8th while the visitors are 2nd in the table. Both teams come into this game off very different moods from their latest league matches. Santos drew 1-1 with Bahia in Serie A on 25 Oct., while Palmeiras beat Bragantino 2-0 in Serie A on 24 Oct. This game is therefore a measure between a team looking to pick up points at home and a team chasing the top of the table. Santos at home tend to play with patience, waiting for counter-attacking chances, and are more likely to concede late in the game than at other times. Palmeiras, despite losing 0-1 to Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores on 22 Oct., remain a team that dominates games in the league and often score early in the first half. This game is therefore likely to see Palmeiras attack more, but Santos will try to defend solidly and wait for chances from long balls or pressing. The first half is likely to be a period where Palmeiras dominate possession and try to break down a deep-lying Santos defence. In the second half, Santos are likely to open up more and have chances to score from counter-attacks or set pieces, which could turn the game back in the home side's favour late on.
