Match begins: 23:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio da Ressacada (17800 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Avaí holding 20th place and Fortaleza lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It's no vacation for neither Avaí nor Fortaleza as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Avaí form and stats

With 1 Serie A win, 7 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Avaí, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Avaí are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Avaí, their manager Evando and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Avaí crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Palmeiras here at Estadio da Ressacada in a Serie A match. Heartbreak before that as Avaí lost 0-1 at São Paulo's place.

Avaí are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Goias awaits in four days.

Avaí has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 7 goals from 14 games. Avaí have conceded 17 in these home matches.
