Fortaleza

After 11 rounds, Fortaleza sits mid-table in 11th place. However, it is worth noting that Fortaleza has played only 10 matches, unlike most other Serie A teams. In these 10 matches, "the Lions" have accumulated 14 points: 3 wins, 5 draws, and only 2 losses. They are currently just 4 points away from sixth place, which grants a spot in the Copa Libertadores.

In the previous round, Fortaleza managed a 1-1 draw away against Atletico Mineiro. Fortaleza won the first half 1-0 and looked better than their opponent but conceded in the 58th minute to Paulinho. Before this, the Tricolores had a home victory over Gremio (1-0) and suffered a humiliating 0-5 away defeat to Cuiaba.

Palmeiras

The reigning Brazilian champions had a weak start to the season, but they have recently improved their results dramatically, now occupying second place, trailing Flamengo by just 1 point. Palmeiras has earned 23 points: 7 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. There is no doubt that the Verdao will be among the contenders for the title once again this season.

Palmeiras approaches the match against Fortaleza on the back of an incredible run of 5 consecutive victories. In the previous round, Palmeiras confidently defeated Juventude 3-1, following successful matches against RB Bragantino (2-1) and Atletico Mineiro (4-0). Notably, Palmeiras has not lost a single away game this season.
