Fortaleza vs Palmeiras: how to watch, kick-off time and line-ups | OneFootball

Fortaleza and Palmeiras meet on Wednesday 5 August at 21:30 Brasília time at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá, the Copa do Brasil 2026 last 16 second leg.

According to Nosso Palestra, the match will be shown on TV GLOBO, SPORTV, PREMIERE and AMAZON PRIME VIDEO. Rafael Rodrigo Klein is the referee, with assistants Bruno Raphael Pires and Thiaggo Americano Labes, and VARs Paulo Renato Moreira da Silva Coelho, Diogo Carvalho Silva and Grazianni Maciel Rocha from Rio de Janeiro.

Palmeiras won the first leg 3-0 at Nubank Parque on Sunday 2 August, with goals from Maurício, Jhon Árias and Flaco López. That result means Verdão can lose by up to two and still reach the quarter-finals. Fortaleza must score four to go through, and if the tie finishes level on aggregate it will be settled on penalties.

Fortaleza probable: João Ricardo, Maílton, Neris, Lucas Gazal, Maurício Mucuri, Ronald, Lucas Sasha, Rodriguinho, Vitinho, Luiz Fernando, Miritello, coach Paulo Autuori. Palmeiras probable: Carlos Miguel, Murilo, Emiliano Martínez, Barboza, Allan, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Piquerez, Mauricio, Jhon Arias, Flaco López or Ramón Sosa, coach Abel Ferreira.

Right-back Khellven has a right thigh injury and forward Paulinho is recovering from a right adductor problem, so both miss Verdão's upcoming games. Centre-back Gustavo Gómez, who sat out on Sunday with a right thigh issue, has stepped up his recovery and trained separately under the health and performance staff.
