Palmeiras is not in a good phase
Palmeiras comes from a negative streak, the biggest in the Abel Era. Alviverde accumulates five games without winning in the Brasileirão.
After facing a marathon of eight matches in just 25 days, the current champion of the main national competition arrives for the duel after a week without games.
Despite coming from a defeat against Cuiabá at home in the last round, Fortaleza has the feat of having already managed to defeat Palmeiras at Allianz Parque as an ally. In 2021, for the Brasileirão, Leão do Pici won Verdão by 3 to 2.
The visiting team, which has consolidated itself in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, is among the only three teams that managed to score goals at Allianz Parque three times in the same match of the Brasileirão.
Only Ceará (Palmeiras 2 X 3 Ceará, in 2022) and RB Bragantino (Palmeiras 2 x 4 RB Bragantino, in 2021) join the short list headed by Fortaleza.
