On Friday, 9th February, a match is slated to take place as part of the Brazilian Paulista tournament. The teams to lock horns are Palmeiras and Ituano, in a clash of the Series A1.
Palmeiras continues its awe-inspiring performance in the current season. They triumphed 1:0 in their latest encounter against RB Bragantino, securing them the 4th spot in the league table. They have played four games this season, bagging three victories and settling for a draw once. They've accumulated 10 points, netting seven goals while conceding four. RB Bragantino's ranking is equally impressive, holding the 5th position in the tournament table after gathering 10 points from six matches.
Ituano's last match was against Botafogo on 5th February, ending in a nil-nil deadlock. They stand 13th in the championship leaderboard of the 2024 season. From the five matches played, they claim one win, three losses, and a draw. They scored just one goal while conceding seven, which gives them a total of four points. Botafogo, on the other side, occupies the fourth place on the league table. They've already taken part in six games this season, winning two and losing two. The total points collected stands at eight.
The hosts suffered defeat a mere four days ago in the São Paulo Super Cup and might not be in the best of spirits. Despite a good run in the championship, Palmeiras have only exceeded two goals once, while Ituano exhibit a lacklustre attack yet have conceded only seven goals spanning five matches. My wager is on the hosts not scoring more than two goals.
