Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, São Paulo in 7th and Fortaleza in 13th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Fortaleza when visiting São Paulo as the cities are 3000 kilometers apart.
