Maílton (84') was the scorer for Fortaleza.

A recurring aspect of recent Ponte Preta games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, of course.

Their past results show that Ponte Preta:

• have not emerged victorious against Criciuma in their last 7 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 5 league games. That's never good.
