Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Fortaleza U20 & Ceará U20 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Do Nordeste U20. All the pre-match information is available here!
Fortaleza U20 form and stats
Fortaleza was eliminated in the final last season in the Copa Do Nordeste U20.The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Bahia U20 in the Brasileiro U20 last time out and are looking for a win here.
Heartbreak before that as Fortaleza lost 0-5 at Flamengo RJ U20's place.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fortaleza as they are travelling to their away game against Fluminense PI U20 in the Copa Do Nordeste U20. That match is four days after this one.
Ceará U20 form and stats
They also participated in Copa Do Nordeste U20 last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Ceará manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Two away games in a row for Ceará, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus Palmeiras U20 in the Brasileiro U20. As you can tell from the result, the match against Palmeiras U20 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Botafogo U20 in the Brasileiro U20.A quick return to home after this game, as Ceará are hosting Presidente Médici U20 in the Copa Do Nordeste U20 only four days away.
