The show has been present in most of the matches played in the first three matchdays of Brasileirao, and we can expect it to continue until the end of the season as usual. However, some of the teams that are usually considered favorites are not standing out and are starting to generate tension in their environment. The match between Corinthians vs Fortaleza, scheduled for Monday, May 8, features two teams that have started the season differently.
Corinthians only has one win in three matches, while Fortaleza is one of the teams that still does not know what it’s like to lose. The problem is that Corinthians is obliged to react, since it has started to enter the danger zone.

Betting on Corinthians
Corinthians started the season with a promising 2-1 victory over Cruzeiro in the first matchday. However, in the following two games, it suffered consecutive defeats, a 3-1 loss to Goiás and a 2-1 setback against Palmeiras. One clear trend is that Corinthians has been scoring and conceding goals in every match.
Currently, its defense is the third-worst in the Brasileirao, averaging two goals conceded per game. Adding to its woes, the team lost its midweek Copa Libertadores match, and now has two consecutive losses by the same 2-1 scoreline.
At the beginning of the year, the team showed strength in its home games with a six-game unbeaten streak. However, recently, Corinthians has been alternating between celebrations and setbacks.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Cássio; Du Queiroz, Gil, Murillo, Murillo, Matheus Bidú; Fausto Vera, Roni; Adson, Róger Guedes, Ángel Romero; Yuri Alberto.
Betting on Fortaleza
Fortaleza, on the other hand, is on a roll, and is one of the four teams that remain unbeaten after three matchdays. The team drew 1-1 against Internacional, won 3-0 against Coritiba on the road, and in the last match, it defeated Fluminense 4-2. What’s more, it has scored in all three games, which is why it is considered the best attacking team with eight goals.
The only away game resulted in a 3-0 victory, and along with Atlético Mineiro, they are the only two teams that have yet to concede a goal in this condition. In fact, Fortaleza has not lost an away game since March, and since then, it has achieved four wins and one draw. It is also worth noting that all its celebrations during this period had a clean sheet.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Fernando Miguel; Tinga, Emanuel Brítez, Titi, Bruno Pacheco; Calebe, Hércules, Caio Alexandre, Moisés; Tomás Pochettino, Thiago Galhardo.
JefeBet Prediction
Historically, Fortaleza has struggled on this ground, as it has failed to defeat Corinthians in eight away matches across all competitions, suffering six defeats in that period.
However, Fortaleza has a chance to achieve a remarkable feat in its current good form. Having avoided defeat in the last five away games, the Tricolor team holds a slight advantage. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe the visiting team will celebrate a victory in the upcoming Corinthians vs Fortaleza at a packed Arena Corinthians.
Prediction: Fortaleza Moneyline (COR 0-1 FOR).
