Their more recent scorelines show that much solidity has been shown by the Fortaleza backline. Fortaleza have been mean at the back, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past 6 games standing at 2. That trend won’t necessarily follow through into this match, of course.

We’re going for a very even match with a 1-0 victory for Fortaleza at the end of this game.
