Our prediction is: Palmeiras to win the 1st half

Palmeiras to win the first half is our top tip for this match. The visitors have the tools on both ends of the pitch to give their hosts some serious trouble, which makes them such an intriguing bet.

Meanwhile, their half-time odds are also more appealing and bring better value than the result of the full match.

Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

We expect that corners will be hard to come by in the Fortaleza vs Palmeiras match. Neither team has been able to create too many corner opportunities this season with how they have played, and this figures to be another match with a low corner count.

So for this match, we recommend betting on under 9.5 corners, where 9 total corners or fewer between the two teams will win the bet.
