Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Sun 17.November
Match begins: 22:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Castelao (67000 seats)

With their 10 point advantage in the league table, Fortaleza fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against CSA.

Fortaleza and CSA should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

CSA have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

CSA form and stats

There's been little loot from CSA's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 16 away games in the Serie A. CSA, who have the fewest points (6) away in Serie A, only have 1 win to counter their 12 defeats and 3 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of CSA, having lost seven matches in a row as the visiting team. Three has not been a lucky number for CSA as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Corinthians match.

CSA failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Vasco da Gama (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-3. A 1-2 defeat away at Gremio before that.

CSA are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 6 goals from 16 away games. In the opposite end, CSA have conceded 28 goals in their away games.
