Fortaleza form and stats

Fortaleza have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-3-8 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Fortaleza's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The supporters enjoyed Fortaleza's previous game versus Gremio (placed 7th), a Serie A 2-1 win played at home. A loss against Flamengo was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The schedule is very tough for Fortaleza now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Avaí is waiting in only four days.

Fortaleza have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. Fortaleza have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Fortaleza - Cruzeiro 2-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Cruzeiro won 2 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Fortaleza has 2 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 2
