Palmeiras vs Fortaleza Betting Tips and Prediction 17th May. On May 17, the opening leg of Palmeiras’ Copa do Brasil semifinal match against Fortaleza will take place at the Allianz Parque.
The hosts are having a fantastic run of results and will think they can fight for the Brazilian Serie A right away. The first leg of Palmeiras’ cup campaign saw them defeat Tombense 4-2 after a comeback, and the second leg ended in a 1-1 tie.
Palmeiras has won the cup competition four times, with their most recent victory coming in 2020. But since then, they haven’t made a good impression in the competition.
Fortaleza, on the other hand, is currently performing well and plans to extend that momentum into the domestic cup. In the previous round, they destroyed fourth-tier Aguia de Maraba, winning 6-1 in the first leg and 2-0 in the second.
