Fortaleza

DWWWWL

Fortaleza will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 4-2 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Botafogo.

In that game, Fortaleza managed 29% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For Fortaleza, the goalscorers were Lopes (17') and Adam Bareiro (56'). Botafogo got 15 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Álvaro Montoro (45'), Cabral (48'), Marçal (84') and Mateo Ponte (95') scored for Botafogo.

Fortaleza haven’t had any problems with scoring, netting in each and every one of their last 6 games.

They have claimed a sum of 12 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 10. Still, it remains to be seen whether such a trend shall be maintained in this match.

Maguary

Maguary will come into the encounter following on from a 1-0 Copa do Brasil win with the defeat of Clube Laguna in their previous outing.

📰 Team News: Fortaleza

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Fortaleza gaffer Martín Palermo to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy set of players. João Ricardo (Shoulder injury) is out of contention.

ℹ️ Team News: Maguary

Thanks to a completely healthy group available to select from, the Maguary boss does not have any fitness worries at all before this match.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Fortaleza are likely to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the other end, Maguary could well struggle to get a goal of their own but we can see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Fortaleza by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
