As the champion of last season's Barclays Premier League, Palmeiras has started the new season with three wins and two draws in the last five matches in regular time. However, the team seems to be a bit slow recently, with four halftime draws in five matches. Ituno is a mid-tier team in the Barclays Premier League, but if they can maintain parity at halftime, it's not impossible for them to draw in the second half. (Friday, 8 a.m. kickoff)
Pomeranians successfully defended their Barclays Premier League title last season with an overwhelming victory over Gamboa, topping the table for the second consecutive year. They also achieved two consecutive titles in the Copa Libertadores in 20 and 21, and have won many important honors in the last four years, with a strength that is considered to be the top of Brazil and even South America. But unfortunately, in the last match of the Copa Libertadores, they lost the trophy with São Paulo in a 0-0 draw and a 2-4 defeat on penalties, reflecting that the team has not yet fully recovered their form.
Looking at Pomeranz's performance in the Barclays Premier League, although they have achieved three wins and one draw, the victories were only by narrow margins, with one of them, a 1-0 win against Red Bull Paracantinho and a 3-2 win over Internacional Rimela, both being shut-outs in the closing stages of the game, making it a tough win. Therefore, despite the opponent is a Division B team, the high heat of the home win handicap is not worth betting on, instead, the half-time draw handicap is more attractive.
