Leaders can secure another victory

It’s top vs bottom in Brazil’s Serie A on Sunday, as leaders Palmeiras look for another three points against Chapecoense. The hosts extended their lead at the top of the standings to seven points last weekend, securing a comprehensive victory over second-placed Flamengo.

The visitors find themselves rooted to the bottom of the standings thanks to a run of six defeats in seven, while they’ve been beaten in five of seven away games to date.

Chapecoense have been able to make a mark in the final third, with each of their previous six games seeing both teams find the net. They’ve scored in each of their last three away games, and the league leaders have managed only two clean sheets across their eight home matches in Serie A this term.

Chapecoense have scored in each of their last five defeats, and they are capable of getting a consolation goal in this trip.
