As part of the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Brazilian Cup, Ceara and Fortaleza will meet. Will the hosts be able to take revenge?
"Ceara"
Ceara started playing in the Brazilian Cup from the 1/64 finals stage, and did not concede a single goal before the first match with Fortaleza, alternately beating San Raimundo (3-0), Tuna Lusho (2-0) and Tombense (twice 2-0). But it did not work out to develop a positive series in the first part of the battle with Fortaleza. In the second half, "Ceara" missed twice, and failed to pick up the keys to the opponent's defense.
"Fortaleza"
As for Fortaleza, it joined the fight for the trophy only from the current stage. The representative of Serie A approaches the return match in a good mood, as he achieved a comfortable advantage in the first meeting. And on the eve of the reporting match, Fortaleza held a successful duel with Palmeiras in the championship, managing to catch on by one point (0-0).
Statistics and figures:
- "Ceara" suffered one defeat in five previous matches;
- Fortaleza has not won for five games;
- In the first match, Fortaleza turned out to be stronger (2-0).
Forecast
Fortaleza turned out to be stronger on its own field, and in the upcoming meeting I propose to bet on the success of Ceara, which plays actively and energetically in front of its fans, and then also has to recoup.
