It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where América Mineiro have shown defensive steel. In fact, América Mineiro have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 12 goals during that time. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

📋 Team News: América Mineiro
The América Mineiro manager Vágner Mancini has no fitness worries at all coming into this game owing to a fully injury-free squad ready to go.
We are thinking that Coelho will probably use a 4-3-3 system in the match, handing starts to Matheus Cavichioli, Marcinho, Eder, Ricardo Silva, Marlon, Martin Benitez, Juninho, Alê, Felipe Azevedo, Mikael and Aloisio.
📰 Team News: Fortaleza
Fortaleza manager Juan Vojvoda has a number of players out of action. Marcelo Benevenuto (Hamstring Injury), Fernando Miguel (Knee Problems) and Pedro Rocha (Ruptured knee ligament) can’t be considered.
We believe Fortaleza seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to João Ricardo, Dudu, Emanuel Brítez, Brayan Ceballos, Lucas Esteves, Lucas Sasha, Caio Alexandre, Calebe, Tomas Pochettino, Moisés and Juan Martin Lucero.
⚡ Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Fortaleza and América Mineiro should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of the 90.
