Friday night at Nubank Parque sees Serie A leaders Palmeiras host an in-form Bahia side, with kickoff at 01:30 UK. The market frames this as a strong favourite's fixture — Palmeiras priced well short and Bahia out at 6.00 — but the visitors' recent scoring streak adds a layer of intrigue to what looks a routine home win on paper. Bet365 make Palmeiras strong favourites at 1.57 (implied ~64%), and their defensive record explains why — an 83% clean sheet rate across their last six matches, with three of those ending goalless.
