Fortaleza U20 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fortaleza U20 so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Fortaleza manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Fortaleza delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Botafogo U20 (placed 6th) in their previous match; a Brasileiro U20 game. Drawing 2-2 against Botafogo U20 after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Goals are few and far between in Fortaleza's away league games. Only 1 goal from 7 travels. For Fortaleza U20, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
