It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bragantino and Fortaleza.

Fortaleza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Bragantino have played 16 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-8-3 (wins-draws-losses). Bragantino has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Nogueira Barbieri and the players.

Before that game, the home loss against Athletico PR with the scoreline 0-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
