Palmeiras vs Chapecoense Prediction and Betting Tips

Palmeiras will welcome Chapecoense to Allianz Parque in the Brasileiro Série A on Sunday. Both teams sit at opposite ends of the table, with the hosts pushing to strengthen their lead while the visitors are looking to revive their campaign.

Palmeiras vs Chapecoense Preview

Palmeiras will enter this meeting on the back of two straight wins, after overcoming a two-match winless run. After 17 rounds of matches in the new campaign, the hosts boast 11 wins and five draws, losing only one game. They sit atop the table on 38 points, seven points ahead of second-placed Flamengo, who have one game in hand.

Alviverde are eying a return to the podium following their last success in 2023. Last season, they fell short by three points, as Flamengo clinched their eighth title. Palmeiras have made an impressive start to the 2026 season, establishing a seven-point lead atop the log. Their efforts throughout the season will be geared at staying there.

Chapecoense are living in a situation contrary to that of the table leaders. The visitors sit bottom of the standings, looking already battered early in the season. Out of 16 matches played, they have managed just one win, drawn six times and lost nine times. That performance leaves them rock bottom on nine points – six points behind the second-lowest ranked team.

Verdao finished third out of 20 teams in Série B last season, to earn promotion to Serie A. The experience has been bitter so far, as they look quite unprepared to compete in the top flight. Chapecoense will attempt to replicate their 2017 away success against Palmeiras, who lost the game at home 2-0.
