Fortaleza form and stats

There's been little loot from Fortaleza's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games. Fortaleza only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Corinthians with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 2-2 draw at Atletico Mineiro's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fortaleza playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 5 Fortaleza wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games, an average of less than one per game. Fortaleza have conceded 11 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
