Palmeiras vs Santos Prediction: Big Match Preview from Extratips

Welcome to Extratips! All eyes are on the classic showdown between Palmeiras and Santos in Brazil’s Serie A Betano, kicking off November 7th at 00:30. Palmeiras step onto home soil sitting 2nd in the league with 61 points from 28 games (19W, 4D, 5L), while Santos face the heat in 15th place with 31 points (8W, 7D, 13L).

Bookies are backing Palmeiras hard—odds for a home win sit at 1.40, while a draw is 4.50 and a Santos away win is a long 8.00. These odds show clear expectations: Palmeiras are favorites, and a big upset is unlikely.

Recent head-to-head duels show Palmeiras edging it: their last five meetings run 2-1 Palmeiras (Jan 2025), 2-0 Palmeiras (Apr 2024), 0-1 Santos (Mar 2024), 2-1 Palmeiras (Jan 2024), and 1-2 Santos (Oct 2023).

At home, Palmeiras have looked rock solid, racking up wins. Santos, though, have struggled on the road—often leaking goals and returning with little to show.

Palmeiras’ power comes from a sharp attack led by V Roque (13 goals) and F López (10 goals), plus a defense that knows how to shut the door. Their only weakness has been the occasional slip up against counter-attacks. Santos rely on Barreal and Neymar for sparks, but defensive errors and confidence dips often haunt them.

Possible twists: Neymar’s rumored distractions, Palmeiras pushing for the title, and historical rivalry adding extra edge.

Kickoff is close. Can Santos spring a surprise, or will Palmeiras keep rolling? Let’s break down the best bets.
