Colo-Colo have traveled here for an interesting Copa Libertadores fight against Fortaleza. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

Colo-Colo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 6000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fortaleza have less rest than Colo-Colo in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa do Nordeste game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Colo-Colo have had more rest.

Fortaleza form and stats

Fortaleza have collected 37 points from their Serie A home games so far after 11-4-4.

A nice win for Fortaleza last time playing, versus Sport Recife. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Pikachu scoring for the victors.

1-1 away at Sport Recife before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fortaleza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won five times, drawn zero and lost zero.

There will be little rest for Fortaleza after this match as they are travelling to Caucaia for a Cearense 1 game in only three days.

The Fortaleza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 26 in 19 matches.

Colo-Colo form and stats

Colo-Colo was sent out of Copa Libertadores in the group stage last season.

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Colo-Colo have produced an overall stat of 2-1-1 so far.

289 minutes! That's how long the Colo-Colo goalkeeper Brayan Josue Cortes Fernandez and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Colo-Colo had fun at their own home (Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo) last time out, beating Union La Calera 4-0. Costa, Solari and Bolados (2) scored.

Prior to that result Colo-Colo won their away game at Palestino in the Primera Division. The scoreline was 5-0.

We have checked recent matches where Colo-Colo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, two draws and two defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Colo-Colo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Union Espanola is waiting in only three days.

The travelling fans enjoy Colo-Colo's attacking play in away games, having scored 7 goals in 4 league matches away. Colo-Colo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
