Vitoria will welcome Palmeiras to Estádio Manoel Barradas in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday. Leão da Barra are 15th in the league table, winning just three of their 17 league games this season. The visitors have won 10 of their 15 games and are third in the standings, trailing league leaders Flamengo by four points.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last four games, although three of these have ended in draws. They met Mirassol in their previous league outing last week and were held to a 1-1 draw.
Verdão saw their unbeaten streak end after four games earlier this week as they fell to a 1-0 away loss to Corinthians in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. They had defeated Gremio 1-0 in the Brazilian Serie A last week, with Facundo Torres scoring the winner in the third minute.
