The Battle for the Brasileirão title ignites as we get close to the final stretch of the season, and Palmeiras wants to continue its triumphant way against Criciúma.
The Verdão last beat Athletico-PR before the FIFA date, and the team is well rested as they didn’t have to recover matches, not face cup competitions.
The Tiger also had a quiet break after losing to Cuibá as locals, failing again to keep momentum after a victory.

Why Bet on Palmeiras?
The locals are running on a three-match winning streak, allowing them to get closer to the top. They are now just three points from Botafogo with the same goal difference.
Palmeiras’ recent performances have varied. They won 2-0 against Athletico Paranaense, ending a series of slips as visitors. A 5-0 victory over Cuiabá at home came before this win. A hard-fought win as locals vs. São Paulo kickstarted their streak.
The Verdão is out of all cup competitions, falling against Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 while losing in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against fellow Brasileirão rivals Botafogo. Those were big hits for a team accustomed to battling for every title, but, at the same time, leaves free way for an uninterrupted push for the title towards the end of the campaign.
Why Bet on Criciúma?
The visitors occupy 14th place after seven wins, seven draws, and ten losses. So far, they have done well in their battle to remain in the Série A. However, below are historic teams like Fluminense, Grêmio, and Corinthians, clubs with far better squads. Some of them are already recovering ground, so even a minor losing streak could be fatal for the team from Santa Catarina.
The Tiger’s recent form has been unpredictable. They faced a 2:1 defeat against Cuiabá, which bookmakers had anticipated. Before this, they managed a 1:0 win over Red Bull Bragantino at home.
Their game against Grêmio ended in a 0:1 loss, with Monsalve scoring late for the rivals. That ended Criciuma’s run of scoring in consecutive home games.
Final Betting Analysis: Palmeiras vs. Criciúma
Palmeiras’ impressive home record and their history against Criciúma make them the favorites. Despite some player absences, their scoring prowess could be decisive.
We must point out that the Paulistas have been the dominant side in their last ten meetings, winning the most recent five. However, they have had closely fought battles despite their winning streak.
Still, we don’t expect this duel to be as close as the previous ones, with Palmeiras fresh and hungry to run away with the title again. We’ll go for a 3-0 victory for the locals.
Go for a victory for the Verdão at 1.33. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $33 for a total payout of $133.
