Fortaleza
After seven matches, Fortaleza sit in the drop zone with just one win, four draws and two defeats. Last time out in the league, they took on São Paulo away from home and earned a creditable point in a goalless draw. However, Fortaleza will be hoping to pose more of a threat in this fixture, having registered just one shot on target from 17 attempts in that match. The draw marked their fourth in a row in all competitions.

Thankfully, things turned around in midweek when they hosted Chilean side Colo-Colo in the Copa Libertadores. That match followed the controversy of the abandoned meeting in Chile, which had saw Fortaleza awarded a 3-0.

Fortaleza came out flying and raced into a 3-0 lead with goals from Breno Lopes, Marinho and Deyverson. Juan Lucero added a fourth to seal an emphatic 4-0 win for the Brazilian side.

Leão,  will now be hoping to carry that momentum into this league match and climb out of the bottom four.

Juventude

Juventude sit in 15th place and are without a win in their last four league matches, with three defeats and one draw. In midweek, they hosted Atlético Mineiro and suffered a 1-0 defeat following a Marcos Paulo own goal. In truth, Atlético Mineiro could have scored more after creating 26 shots, with seven on target.

Juventude will be hoping to improve defensively and offer more going forward as they look for their first win in four matches. They come into this match without any midweek distractions, something they’ll be hoping to use to their advantage in this clash. The last time they beat Fortaleza was back in 2009 in a Serie B affair.

Prediction – Fortaleza 3-1 Juventude
