Fortaleza Preview – Can Fortaleza avoid another loss?
Fortaleza’s ambitions of a possible top four finish in the Brazilian top flight have received a bit of a dent in recent times as the hosts have slipped to three defeats out of their last four matches and have managed to pick up just one point from the last possible 12 on offer.
That point came courtesy of a 1-1 draw at home with Sao Paulo while defeats against America Mineiro, Corinthians and Bragantino have resulted in Fortaleza dropping out of the top four pack and down to 6th place.
Fortaleza have also collected just two home wins from their previous eight games on home soil and this doesn’t bode well for this upcoming clash against an improving Ceara outfit.
Ceara Preview – Can Ceara continue revival?
A promising recent sequence of results have helped lift Ceara up into a mid-table position of 10th place in the Serie A standings thanks to just one defeat out of their last six matches and they’re now in contention for a possible Sudamericana spot.
That loss was a 2-1 defeat at Athletico PR but recent wins against Fluminense, Cuiaba and Sport Recife should give the visitors plenty of belief that they can get a result of sorts on the road at Fortaleza on Wednesday night.
However, Ceara have failed to win any of their last 15 away games so the handicap may be the best option for the visitors here.
