Fortaleza, Recent FormFortaleza enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Sao Paulo last time out in the league. During that encounter they had 29% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 15 shots on goal.
Manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 6 league games.
Cruzeiro, Recent FormLast time out, Cruzeiro left content aftera 3-2 home win against Botafogo Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Botafogo had 6 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Nicolás Larcamón will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 3 clean sheets in a row.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Goalscorer Rafa Silva will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cruzeiro.
It was not a positive ending for Fortaleza last time they met Cruzeiro in the league, with the game ending in a 0-1 defeat.
The Fortaleza defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Raposa have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 meetings at Arena Castelão. Playing at home, Fortaleza have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Cruzeiro.
With only Calebe Gonçalves Ferreira (Thigh) and Matheus Rossetto (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Cruzeiro manager Nicolás Larcamón ahead of this clash, with Gabriel Veron (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Larcamón a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
