Prediction

  • Palmeiras come into this battle in amazing form having won six of their last seven matches, they remain unbeaten during this period. Last time out, they enjoyed a 5-3 victory in a thriller against Juventude on the road. They currently sit in second place and sit just a point behind league leaders Botafogo.
  • Fortaleza are winless in their last two and their hopes of a first Brasileirao title are growing slimmer and slimmer as they sit five points behind the league leaders. Defeat here will likely see their dreams all but over. Last time out, they drew 1-1 at home with Atletico Mineiro.
