Fortaleza, Recent FormFortaleza will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Botafogo, not least because of the valuable point gained. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Botafogo managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from Leão do Pici, while they've been undefeated in their last 10 league games, they've drawn their last 4.
Athletico Paranaense, Recent FormAthletico Paranaense will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Palmeiras. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Palmeiras' tally of 23 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Cuca Stival will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Fortaleza have managed to keep a clean sheet against Furação in each of their previous 3 meetings at Arena Castelão. Fortaleza have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Furação. In their past 5 meetings, Leão do Pici's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Athletico-PR will have to take their chances when they come.
Fortaleza have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Athletico-PR in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 5 meetings.
Fortaleza manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tomás Cardona (Thigh), Calebe Gonçalves Ferreira (Thigh), Benjamín Kuscevic (Thigh) and Lucas Sasha (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Agustín Canobbio (Ankle) and Thiago Heleno (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Cuca Stival will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
