Prediction

  • Fortaleza earned a creditable draw on Wednesday evening away at Corinthians and now they return to the Castelão, where they will be hoping to win there for the first time this season.
  • Fortaleza are unbeaten in their last three matches and will be hoping to extend this at the weekend.
  • Bragantino had several shots, but failed to beat Coritiba, losing 2-1 at home, a result they will be disappointed with.
  • Fabricio's sending off just before half time changed the game, effectively giving Coritiba the innovative to go on and push for the win, which they did.
  • Bragantino will be hoping to bounce back against Fortaleza in what promises to be an interesting match-up.
