The São Paulo side have played five times at Arena Pantanal without defeat, winning four and drawing one.

In the 11th round of the 2015 Brasileiro, 11 years ago, Ponte Preta moved their home game to Cuiabá and Palmeiras won 2-0.

Fortaleza have opted to stage this last 16 tie in Cuiabá, and Palmeiras will aim to make their strong record count to reach the quarter-finals.
