📰 Team News: Fortaleza

Fortaleza manager Juan Vojvoda has some current player fitness concerns. Emanuel Brítez (ankle sprain), Tinga (Calf problems), Tomás Pochettino (Tendonitis), Breno Lopes (Forearm fracture) and Moisés (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Fortaleza and Vitoria may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. We therefore see a very even match with a score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
