Betting on Fortaleza
Fortaleza is having a great year so far. They head into this match on the back of an eight-game unbeaten run and after reaching the Copa do Brasil round of 16 by thrashing Águia de Maraba 8-1 on aggregate.
Their success in the Copa Sudamericana also speaks volumes, as they sit at the top of their group with two wins from two games. Not to mention their impressive performance in the Brasileirão, which sees them in third place going into this matchday 3 after a stunning 3-0 away win against Coritiba.
However, Fortaleza faces a daunting challenge ahead as they welcome a team they haven’t beaten at home since 2005, with a record of five losses and one draw in the process. Nevertheless, their unbeaten run of seven home games in the league may give them some confidence to break this jinx.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Fernando Miguel; Tinga, Emanuel Brítez, Titi, Bruno Pacheco; Lucas Sasha, Caio Alexandre, Hércules, Guilherme; Tomás Pochettino, Yago Pikachu.
Betting on Fluminense
Things have been going much better for Fluminense in these first few games, with a total of seven official victories to start this new Brasileirao season at the top of the standings alongside Botafogo after beating Athletico Paranaense 2-0 at home in the previous matchday.
The Flu also sealed a top-16 finish in the Copa do Brasil with a 3-0 midweek win over Paysandu, and have also dominated their Copa Libertadores zone by winning the first two rounds of the group stage.
Going on the road shouldn’t be too much of a burden for Fluminense fans either, considering that their team has won without conceding a goal in its last five away games in the Brazilian top flight, with their last away league defeat taking place in October 2022 (3-2 vs. Atlético-GO).
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Nino, Felipe Melo, Alexsander; André Trindade, Lima; Jhon Arias, Paulo Ganso, Keno; Germán Cano.
JefeBet Prediction
Fortaleza may be in a good moment, but they are about to face a much stronger opponent who is in fantastic form. Fluminense boasts an impenetrable defense that hasn’t conceded a goal in the league yet, and they are likely to make Fortaleza suffer, just as they have in their last two home games where they failed to score.
Moreover, Fluminense has been excellent in attack, scoring at least two goals in six games during their current run of seven wins. Therefore, we expect Fortaleza to put up a fight, but we trust that Fluminense will demonstrate their superiority and secure the victory.
Prediction: Fluminense Moneyline (FOR 0-1 FLU).
