Fortaleza São Paulo betting prediction

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the Copa do Brasil with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Coritiba by (0‑0). Fortaleza has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 55 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Fortaleza was the Copa do Nordeste champion in 2019 and this directly guaranteed it in the Round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. No doubt that's very good, but at the same time, they comes into a much more complicated moment. Since they have a strong opponent ahead of them, they have to do everything they can to take advantage, after all the return game will be away from home. Therefore, in order to get a good result, they will have to play a very high quality football.

Confirmed Lineup: Felipe Alves, Jackson, Felipe, Tinga, Carlinhos, Paulão, Gabriel Dias, Ronald, Juninho, David da Fonseca, Romarinho.
