Palmeiras vs Remo: what the match decides

Palmeiras welcome Remo to Nubank Parque on Thursday 5 November 2026 in Round 34 of the Brazilian Serie A. The hosts are second on 70 points, three behind leader Flamengo on 73, and currently hold a Copa Libertadores group-stage place. Remo are 19th on 29 points, inside the relegation zone.

The match decides how much pressure Palmeiras can keep on the top spot, and whether Remo can pick up the points their survival bid needs. On the table alone, Palmeiras are clear favourites. The more interesting question is whether they can turn control into a win, given how many league games they have drawn.

Palmeiras and Remo recent form

Palmeiras have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last five games in all competitions. They scored 5 and conceded 1, an average of 1 scored and 0.2 conceded per game, with 4 clean sheets. They failed to score twice in that run, including a 1-0 home loss to Fluminense in the Libertadores. At home they have played 3 of those five, winning 2 and losing 1, scoring 3 and conceding 1.

Remo's last five read one win, three draws and one defeat, with 4 goals scored and 4 conceded (0.8 per game each way). Both teams scored in 3 of those games, and they kept one clean sheet. Their form on the road is the concern: in their last two away games they drew 0-0 at Vasco da Gama and lost 1-0 at Cruzeiro, failing to score in both.

Over the full season, Palmeiras have 20 wins, 10 draws and 3 defeats from 33 games, with 56 goals scored and 22 conceded, a goal difference of +34. Remo have 6 wins, 11 draws and 16 defeats, with 36 scored and 51 conceded, a difference of -15.

Palmeiras vs Remo team news

Palmeiras have three players ruled out: Jefte (knee injury), Paulinho (calf injury) and R. Sosa (muscle injury). No doubtful players are listed for the hosts in our data.

Remo are without Gabriel Poveda (injury), Joao Lucas (knee injury) and Matheus Felipe (injury). Marlon is doubtful with an injury. For a side that already struggles for goals away from home, a thinner squad is a further handicap.

Line-ups are not yet published. They are confirmed about an hour before kick-off, and we will see then whether the absences change either shape.

Palmeiras vs Remo storylines

For Palmeiras, the story is a title chase in which draws have cost them. Ten stalemates in 33 games are the gap between them and Flamengo, only three points ahead. They have also just beaten Vasco da Gama 1-0 in the Copa do Brasil and drawn 0-0 at Santos, so the schedule is busy.

For Remo, the story is survival. They sit 19th with 29 points and have drawn 11 league games, which shows resilience but too few wins, with only 6 all season. A win from their latest outing, 2-1 at home to Botafogo on 29 October, followed a run of three draws. The challenge is repeating that away from home against one of the league's best defences.

Where Palmeiras vs Remo will be decided

The main contest is Palmeiras' defence against Remo's attack. Palmeiras have conceded 22 league goals all season and just once in their last five games across all competitions, while Remo have scored 0 in their last two away matches. If that pattern holds, Remo will struggle to create enough chances to get anything.

The other side of the coin is Remo's defence, which has conceded 51 goals, around 1.5 per game. Palmeiras have scored 56, about 1.7 per game, but their recent output of 1 per game is modest and they have not scored more than twice in the last five. The match may hinge on whether Palmeiras can turn possession and territory into early goals, or whether a deep Remo block can keep the game level and the tension high.

Palmeiras vs Remo head-to-head

Our data holds one meeting: a 1-1 draw at Remo on 10 May 2026 in Serie A. Both teams scored and the game produced 2 goals, with no winner.

One match is a small sample, but it shows that Remo are able to take a point off Palmeiras. This time the game is at Nubank Parque, where Palmeiras have conceded just once in three recent home matches.

Palmeiras vs Remo prediction

Our lean is a Palmeiras win. They have a far better league record, a stronger defence and home advantage, while Remo have failed to score in both recent away games. The model edge is clear but not overwhelming, because Palmeiras' tendency to draw and their modest recent scoring keep a stalemate in play.

On goals, the lean is towards fewer than three. Palmeiras have had no over-2.5 games in their last five, and Remo's away matches have produced 0 goals for them. A 1-0 or 2-0 home win is the most likely shape.

What could change it: an early Palmeiras goal would stretch a side that has conceded 51, while a goalless first hour would raise the chance of a draw. Confirmed line-ups may also shift the picture.
