Fortaleza
DDDDWW 🌤
Fortaleza will be looking for another win after the 5-0 Serie A success vs Juventude.
In that match, Fortaleza had 48% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 13 of them on target. For Fortaleza, goals were scored by Juan Lucero (3', 86'), Breno Lopes (63'), Tomás Pochettino (82') and Calebe (89'). At the other end, Juventude got 4 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the Fortaleza defence. Fortaleza have been mean at the back, seeing the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their last six clashes standing at 4. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.
