Fortaleza, Recent FormFortaleza will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Red Bull Bragantino. They came away from that fixture with 25% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Red Bull Bragantino managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Estádio Governador Plácido Castelo, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Yago Pikachu will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Fortaleza.
Goias, Recent FormGoias will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Gremio, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they recorded 50 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 13 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Mario Henrique where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 8 in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Goias will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Guilherme Marques will be hoping to create problems for Fortaleza in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Goias.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Fortaleza who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Goias.
Playing away from home, Goias have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Fortaleza.
When playing away from home in the league, Goias have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Fortaleza, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With Hércules Pereira do Nascimento (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Vinícius Zanocelo (Groin) also unavailable in the shorter term, Fortaleza manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
With only Sander Bortolotto (Knee) and Gabriel Novaes (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mario Henrique will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
