Fortaleza form and stats

Fortaleza have collected 24 points from their Serie A home games so far after 7-3-3.

Fortaleza are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Atletico Mineiro. Fortaleza were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. The forward Matheus Vargas was declared "man of the match" for Fortaleza with the rating of 6.85/10.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Chapecoense and winning 2-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Fortaleza's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atletico Mineiro are coming to town in four days.

The Fortaleza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Fortaleza's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times.

Athletico PR form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Athletico PR so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-8 (win-draw-lose).

Athletico PR played 2-2 against Flamengo in their previous match. Attacker Renato Kayzer got a player rating of 7.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Kayzer scored one goal and hit one key pass.

The game before that, in the Serie A, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Fluminense.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Athletico when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning two games.

The schedule is very tough for Athletico now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Flamengo is waiting in only four days.

Athletico find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. 17 goals have been conceded by Athletico PR in these games.
