Stadium: Ceará Estádio Presidente Vargas.
The final match of the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship Serie A will be the match between Fortaleza and Corinthians. Both teams are in the cup zone, Fortaleza started the season phenomenally, while more was expected from Timão, but the team from Sao Paulo has the opportunity to save the current situation.
Fortaleza current form
In the last five rounds in Serie A, Fortaleza scored seven points, beat Chapecoense and América Mineiro, tied with Gremio, and lost to Flamengo and Athletico Paranaense. The results are far from perfect, but they allow the future hosts to be in the fifth position in the standings of Serie A, with an asset of 18 points and two points behind Athletico Paranaense. That means that if they win on Monday, Fortaleza will climb into the zone of direct entry into the Libertadores Cup. Fortaleza's home stats are third in the division, +4=1-0, 14-4 goal difference. Note that no one in Serie A has scored more than Fortaleza in home games.
Corinthians current form
Corinthians has not lost since June 17, since then Timão has played six matches in the Brazilian championship, winning two of them, against Sport and Chapecoense, and drawing four. The results are not bad, but draws, as you know, will not get you far, Corinthians is only 11th in the standings, though, only three points behind Bahia, located in the top 6. At the same time, the Salvadorans have already played and lost their match in Week 11. Corinthians has excellent statistics in the division, fifth. In five away games, Timao has won twice and drawn three times.
