Betting on Ferroviario Esporte Clube
Ferroviario shared the same group as its Saturday’s rival, which only separated them by five points. It had three wins, four ties and one loss. It scored 11 goals and conceded only four.
Actually, its last match in the Copa do Nordeste ended in a 3-2 loss to Náutico. On that afternoon, the player who shone the most for Ferroviario was Kiuan Gabriel de Castro, who scored two goals after coming on in the 75th minute to replace center back Zé Carlos.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Douglas Dias; Rodrigo Negueba, Roni Lobo, Zé Carlos, Matheus Lima; Lincoln, Felipe Guedes; Thiaguinho, Deysinho, Erick Pulga; Ciel.
JefeBet Prediction
Ferroviario’s Erick Pulga is the top scorer in the Copa do Nordeste with five goals, one goal behind his teammate Ciel. In other words, the visitors’ front line is to be feared.
However, Fortaleza proved to be far superior just a few days ago and completely annulled it; that is why, at JefeBet, we believe it will also get the win now.
Prediction: Fortaleza Moneyline (FOR 3-0 FER)
