📋 Team News: Fortaleza

In our view, Fortaleza could use the 3-4-3 system this time, beginning the first half with Joao Ricardo, Tinga, Titi, Benjamin Kuscevic, Lucas Sasha, Guillermo Fernandez, Leandro Martinez, Diogo Barbosa, Yago Pikachu, Juan Martin Lucero and Marinho.

📋 Team News: Fluminense

Fluminense boss Mano Menezes has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Riquelme (Knee injury), Renato Augusto (Shoulder injury), Ganso (heart problems), Otávio (Achilles tendon rupture) and Gabriel Fuentes (Hamstring injury) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Tricolor appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation using Fabio, Guga, Thiago Silva, Juan Freytes, Rene, Kevin Serna, Hercules, Martinelli, Jhon Arias, German Cano and Agustin Canobbio.

💭 Prediction

For this match, we think that Fluminense have the ability to score a goal against this Fortaleza lineup, but that is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 advantage for Fortaleza after 90 minutes. Let’s just see how this one goes.
