Vitória vs Palmeiras Prediction: Expect an exciting match

Vitória vs Palmeiras: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 04, 2025

Vitória and Palmeiras will clash in one of the most anticipated matches of Round 18. Vitória has not lost in four rounds, while Palmeiras has won three consecutive league games.

Vitória: Form and statistics

It seems that the change of coach at Vitória has paid off. The Baianos have only lost once in five games under Fábio Carille, in his debut, and have climbed out of the relegation zone. The Barra's Lion has indeed also only won once in the last five rounds, but the team is better organized and more confident. The fans are particularly disappointed about the home draw conceded in the final seconds against Sport and hope that those two lost points will not prove fatal at the end of the season. In its last game, Vitória drew away to Mirassol at the Maião, a stadium where no team has won so far. Mirassol scored in the 6th minute through Edson Carioca, but the Salvador team reacted quickly and equalized in the 13th minute with a beautiful volley from midfielder Baralhas. The next opponent is the powerful Palmeiras, but Vitória will fight for a good result.

Vitória: Lineup

The influential Matheuzinho is injured and will not be able to help his teammates in the difficult match against Palmeiras.

🔖Vitória starting lineup (4-3-3)

Lucas Arcanjo – Cáceres, Lucas Halter, Zé Marcos, Maykon – Baralhas, Willian Oliveira, Ronald – Lucas Braga, Renato Kayzer, Osvaldo

⛔️Out: Neris, Jamerson, Matheuzinho (injured)

👤Head Coach: Fábio Carille

Palmeiras: Form and statistics

Palmeiras beat Grêmio 1-0 at home with a beautiful goal from Facundo Torres in the 3rd minute. Abel Ferreira's men did not shine but controlled the game, securing their third consecutive league victory. The Paulistas are in third place with 32 points and have two games in hand. Cruzeiro is in second place with 34 points, but has played 17 games, so Palmeiras could perfectly well take second place. Flamengo is now the new leader with 38 points, and one game less. Things are going well in the league, but in midweek, the Verdão lost 1-0 away to Corinthians in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16. Palmeiras will face its rival again next week, so Abel Ferreira will likely make some changes in the game against Vitória with the derby in mind.

Palmeiras: Lineup

Abel Ferreira will probably leave out some regular players, given the decisive cup match against rival Corinthians in the middle of next week. Palmeiras lost 1-0 away to the Timão in the first leg and needs to turn the result around.

🔖Palmeiras starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Weverton – Marcos Rocha, Gómez, Micael, Vanderlan – Martínez, Allan – Luighi, Raphael Veiga, Torres – Flaco López

⛔️Out: Fuchs, Murillo, Bruno Rodrigues, Paulinho (injured)

👤Head Coach: Abel Ferreira

Vitória vs Palmeiras: Head-to-head statistics

Vitória vs Palmeiras match prediction 04 August 2025

Palmeiras is the favorite in this match, but I don't anticipate an easy game for the Paulistas. Abel Ferreira's team lost to Corinthians in the first match of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 and will play the second leg in a few days. In other words, it is most likely that the Palmeiras coach will choose to bench some of his regular players. Vitória is close to the relegation zone, but has shown improvement, and the team defends well. The Baianos are playing at home and could cause some problems for Palmeiras. I think the visitors are more likely to win, but I'll leave the possibility of a draw open. I'm going to bet on a Double Chance in favor of Palmeiras with a maximum of two goals scored.
