It's the second chance for points this season as Fortaleza and Uniclinic battle it out at Estádio Municipal Presidente Getúlio Vargas.
Fortaleza have less rest than Uniclinic in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa do Nordeste game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estádio Municipal Presidente Getúlio Vargas. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Uniclinic have had more rest.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Fortaleza form and stats
Fortaleza haven’t lost a game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Corinthians, 91 days ago.
The Fortaleza goalkeeper Marcelo Boeck is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 451 minutes without conceding a goal in the Cearense 1.
The spoils were shared in Fortaleza's previous game, also at home. Visiting Ceara (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Caucaia and winning 1-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Fortaleza as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa do Nordeste match thankfully also at home. Santa Cruz are visiting.
Last season, Fortaleza's league statistics were 0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses, resulting in a 6th position in the Copa do Nordeste. Over these two matches they scored 1 goal and conceded 1. Playing at home last season Fortaleza managed 0-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 1 goal and 1 conceded.
Uniclinic form and stats
As the visiting team in Cearense 1 matches, Uniclinic have produced an overall stat of 0-0-1 so far. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Uniclinic's last three away games as they have all been lost.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Uniclinic, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Guarany de Sobral (placed 2nd). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Caucaia.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Uniclinic manager R. Rodrigues e Silva as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ferroviario.
It's early days yet, but Uniclinic has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Fortaleza-Uniclinic H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Fortaleza eight wins, Uniclinic two wins, zero draws. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
