Stadium: Arena Castelão

Pablo Vojvoda has been in charge of Fortaleza for over three years now. During this time, the club has grown significantly, thanks to the Argentine coach, but also to a board that understands the importance of stability. The Lion lost 5-0 in Cuiabá this year, and a result like that in most of the league clubs would be enough to sack the coach. Since that heavy defeat, Fortaleza has played eight games, recording six wins, one draw, and one defeat, in a game where the team played for an hour with ten players.

The Cearenses beat Vitória without any problems in the last round. Playing at home, Fortaleza led 3-0 and then took the foot off the gas. The Baianos reduced the deficit in the 90th minute. Breno Lopes was the star of the match, scoring the first goal in the 25th minute and providing the assist for Pochettino in the 39th minute. Tinga, the captain, scored the third goal in the 55th minute. It was the third consecutive win for the Vojvoda's men, who have reached seventh place. The Cearenses have 29 points, the same as Cruzeiro in sixth. Fortaleza has another home match and an excellent opportunity to climb even higher in the standings.
Atlético Goianiense
The Dragon lost 1-0 at home to Vasco da Gama, extending its winless streak to eight games. Atlético has yet to win since sacking coach Jair Ventura and is currently second from the bottom of the table. This week, the club signed Joel Cambell, the Costa Rican player who represented Arsenal earlier in his career. The Goianos are low on confidence and can only break out of the negative cycle with a victory. It's unlikely that they'll get the three points from Fortaleza, but anything is possible in the Brasileirão.
Expert Betting Tips
Fortaleza is full of confidence and has yet to lose at home. The Cearenses have won their last three matches, and if they keep up their form, they could win again. Atlético Goianiense hasn't won in eight games and is having a terrible period. I'm betting on the home team to win, even though the Goianos have achieved their best results on the road.
