Fortaleza manager Juan Vojvoda has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Calebe (Hamstring injury), Marinho (Thigh problems), Juan Martín Lucero (muscular problems) and Eros Mancuso (Adductor injury) are not able to play.

We believe Fortaleza will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting João Ricardo, Tinga, Emanuel Brítez, Titi, Felipe Jonatan, Lucas Sasha, Hércules, Yago Pikachu, Tomas Pochettino, Moisés and Renato Kayzer.
