Why Bet on Fortaleza?
No one could say that, at this stage of the championship, Fortaleza would be fighting to become the Brasileirão champion. With 52 points, they are in third place in the tournament, only four units behind the leader, Botafogo.
Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s team has just been eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana, so they can concentrate 100% on the local championship. Last week they defeated Bahia 4-1 and managed to break a three-game winless streak, which had been very detrimental to their fight for the title.
The good thing for the Tricolor is that they scored more than three goals for the first time in the tournament, and it is expected that the team will continue to improve their offensive production, which has been their Achilles heel this season.
At home they have been unbeatable, being the only club that has not lost in this condition. They have 11 wins and three draws, scoring 36 points. No club in the Brasileirão has scored more points than them as local.
The only absentee will be midfielder Zé Wilson, who is suspended. Juan Martin Lucero is the team’s top scorer (8) but has not scored in six league games.
Why Bet on Cuiabá?
Cuiabá had a good first half of the tournament, but then dropped a lot and fell to the relegation zone. They are currently second last with 23 points, five behind Vitória, which is the first team to be saved. However, in the middle are Fluminense and Corinthians, two historic clubs that do not want to be relegated either.
Last match they drew 0-0 at home against Cruzeiro and have already gone three games without scoring a goal. In addition, they have won only one of the last 10 matches they have played, taking six points out of a possible 30.
Away (12) they have fared better than at home (11), but have only taken one of the last 12 points. Their previous two games were heavy defeats versus Internacional (3-0) and Palmeiras (5-0), conceding eight goals and scoring none.
Their top scorer is Paraguayan Isidro Pitta (7). However, counting Copa Sudamericana, he has only scored one goal in the last ten games and that was a penalty.
