Palmeiras host Vasco da Gama at the Allianz Parque on Sunday (August 27) in the Brasileiro Serie A.
The hosts are enjoying a good run of results in the league after an underwhelming start. Palmeiras beat Cuiaba 2-0 in their last outing. Raphael Veiga opening the scoring at the half-hour mark before Richard Rios rifled home a long-range strike midway through the second half to seal the points.
Palmeiras are second in the league table with 37 points from 20 games.
Vasco, meanwhile, are also playing well as they look to avoid the drop. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Atletico Mineiro in their last game, with Serginho netting a fifth-minute winner to open his account for Vasco.
