Fortaleza
DDLWLW ⚖
Fortaleza will be looking for a repeat result of a 0-1 Serie B triumph against Náutico.
In that match, Fortaleza had 27% possession and 4 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Nautico had 31 shots on goal with 10 of them on target.
A recurring feature of more recent Fortaleza games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
Taking their prior 6 matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a losing one.
Coming into this fixture, Fortaleza haven't been defeated in their previous 9 league matches at home. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.
América Mineiro
LLDLLL 📉
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Atlético Goianiense in Serie B competition, América Mineiro and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, América Mineiro managed 63% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. On the other side, Atletico Goianiense got 17 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Marrony (33') and Coutinho (73') scored for Atlético Goianiense.
It is worth noting that América Mineiro have struggled for goals over their last 6 games, recording the disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, Coelho have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 14. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.
Heading into this contest, América Mineiro haven’t won away from home in the past 7 league games.

Prediction
Our thinking is that Fortaleza will, in all likelihood, have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
In contrast, América Mineiro could well struggle to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 winning score for Fortaleza when the full-time whistle blows.
