Palestino vs Fortaleza Prediction and Betting Tips | June 27th 2023

Palestino and Fortaleza go head-to-head at the Estadio El Teniente in the final Group H game of the Copa Sudamericana on Tuesday.

The Leão do Pici saw their 100% record in the competition come to an end against Estudiantes on June 6 and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Palestino booked their spot in the third round of the Copa Chile as they picked up a pulsating 5-4 victory over Santiago Morning last Thursday.

Pablo Sanchez’s side now return to the Copa Sudamericana, where they have picked up two wins and two draws in their four matches since a 4-0 loss against Fortaleza in April’s group opener.

With eight points from a possible 15, Palestino are currently second in Group H, three points above third-placed San Lorenzo, albeit with a slightly stronger goal difference.

Elsewhere, Fortaleza picked up a second consecutive victory in the Brasileiro Serie A as they edged out 10-man Atletico Mineiro 2-1 at the weekend.

Prior to that, Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s side grabbed a 1-0 victory over Cruzeiro on June 21 to snap their three-match winless run in all competitions.

Fortaleza have already secured their spot in the knockout stages of the Copa Sudamericana as they sit at the summit of Group H with 12 points from a possible 15.
