Fortaleza - Juventude: Serie A basement occupants scrapping for points and glory. Check out all the available data and facts before the fixture!

Insights:
  • Fortaleza have the fewest scored goals (3) in Serie A
  • Juventude have the most conceded goals (13) in Serie A

Juventude have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The hosts Fortaleza saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa Libertadores. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Colo-Colo.

Fortaleza form and stats

Fortaleza have played three Serie A home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Fortaleza are returning here after guesting Colo-Colo in a Copa Libertadores match and winning with a 4-3 scoreline.

Preceding that match was a Serie A defeat to Fluminense (0-1).

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 4 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Fortaleza, as the Serie A home game vs Ceara is only four days away.

Fortaleza have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic.

Prior to that result Juventude won their away game at Avai. The scoreline was 2-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Juventude when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 6 matches with the visitors losing 5 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.
