🗞️ Team News: Fortaleza

Fortaleza boss Rogério Ceni will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this game with a fully injury-free group available to select from.

📋 Team News: Fluminense

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Fluminense gaffer Odair Hellmann to be concerned about. Michel Araújo (Calf Problems) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Fluminense will likely create enough chances to score against this Fortaleza lineup, although it probably won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re predicting a 2-1 winning score for Fortaleza at the end of this one. There looks to be little in this one.
