Fortaleza
DDLWLW ⚖
Fortaleza, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 0-1 Serie B triumph vs Náutico.
In that game, Fortaleza had 27% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target. On the other side, Nautico got 31 attempts at 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 beaten in their last game against Atlético Goianiense in Serie B action, América Mineiro will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, América Mineiro managed 63% possession and 15 shots on goal with 6 on target. Atletico Goianiense got 17 shots 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.
👥
Head to head
An examination of their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 19/06/2022 shows us that Fortaleza have won 5 of these and América Mineiro 1, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 0.
An aggregate of 19 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 12 of them for Fortaleza and 7 netted by Coelho. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.17.
The previous league meeting featuring these sides was Serie A match day 26 on 08/10/2023 which finished with the scoreline of Fortaleza 3-2 América Mineiro.
That time, Fortaleza had 59% possession and 18 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The scorers were Juan Lucero (31'), Imanol Machuca (56') and Pacheco (68').
On the other side, América Mineiro had 14 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Gonzalo Mastriani (18', 23') was the scorer.
The referee was Bruno Arleu.
🔮
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.
