Predictions and Betting Tips

Analyzing recent performances and statistics, Fortaleza shows better attacking stats, averaging 11.18 shots a game with nearly 33% of those on target.

Therefore, it appears that Fortaleza may pose a more considerable threat in front of goal.

Given that both teams are under pressure for points and considering Fortaleza's home advantage, the odds are leaning towards a potential home win, set at 2.05, with a probability of 48.78%.
