📏 Form Guide

Fortaleza
DDWWDL
Fortaleza won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 3-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Vasco da Gama.
In that match, Fortaleza had 50% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Vasco da Gama had 14 shots at goal with 7 on target. Nuno Moreira (3') and Pablo Vegetti (46', 80') scored for Vasco da Gama.
A recurring aspect of more recent Fortaleza games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
Taking their previous six clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this match, however.
Retrô
LWDWDD
The stats tell the story, and Retrô have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 5 goals in total. In defence, Retrô have clearly had some problems.
🗞️ Team News: Fortaleza
Rodrigo Santos (Fitness), Moisés (Thigh problems), Zé Welison (Thigh problems), Diogo Barbosa (unknown injury) and Lucas Sasha (Forearm fracture) won’t be playing for Fortaleza boss Juan Vojvoda.
ℹ️ Team News: Retrô
Owing to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the Retrô manager has no fitness concerns to report before this game.
⚡ Prediction
Unfortunately for them, Retrô should have a very tough job on their hands to put even one past this Fortaleza lineup who certainly have the ability to set up the platform for a big win and also probable clean sheet.
We’re therefore predicting a very comprehensive 4-0 thrashing which could even be higher for Fortaleza at the end of the 90 minutes.
