Team News

Fortaleza
Palmeiras
  • Lucas Lima returns from suspension.
  • Palmeiras rested players last time out and should go with a full-strength team here to build momentum for next week's Libertadores final.
  • Dudu, Melo and Deyverson return from suspension, while Gomez and Piquerez are available following international duty.
  • Palmeiras will be without Patrick De Paula due to a ban.

Prediction

  • Fortaleza's problems got worse on Wednesday evening as they were obliterated by rivals Ceara in a 4-0 defeat. This was Fortaleza's fifth defeat in six matches. They must improve here, especially in defence as they have shipped in seven goals in their last two games, and they are in danger of falling out of the Copa Libertadores places.
  • Palmeiras chose to rest players in midweek as their main focus is on the Copa Libertadores final on November 27th. This resulted in a 2-0 home loss to rivals Sao Paulo. They have lost their last two matches and will be hoping to avoid another defeat here, but they still sit third in the league standings.
