Brasileiro Serie A - Palmeiras SP v Santos SP

As in bigger part of derby games, I think the balance will be present in this game, with any result at the end of 90 minutes perfectly normal.

But this is not what the odds say, and when I see odds between 4.00 and 5.00 in most bookies in the Santos wins simple, I am surprised.

They will be two teams with many problems for this game. Another reason in my view, be complicated to predict the winner.

The Palmeiras has 10 players unavailable, while Santos has 5.

On Palmeiras, Vanderlei Luxemburgo can not count with Pierre, Martinez, Gustavo, David and Evandro, injured. Denílson, Kléber, Sandro Silva and Leo Lima are suspended, while Elder Granja, is having problems in the Justice Labour of Alagoas.

Because of this I believe that the team should feel quite a pace of play and dialogue.

But Santos will not have available for the game tonight the goalkeeper Fabio Costa, the defender Adaílton and the midfielder Robinho who are injured. Michael led the third yellow against Sport and is suspended, while the defensive midfielder Rodrigo Souto is suspended because of doping.

The two teams have already faced in the Championship of Sao Paulo State (Paulista) in Palestra Italia, and the game finished tied at 0x0.
