Fortaleza take on the visitors Atletico GO at “Estadio Governador Aderaldo Placido Castelo” in the next matchday of the Brazilian Serie B. The game will be played in Fortaleza on Saturday, July 14th.
Fortaleza have lost three out of last five encounters conducted. The leader’s handicap over the rivals started to melt with Vila Nova FC being only three points behind now. Rogerio Ceni has changed the scheme into 3-5-2 which succeeded in the home fight against Paysandu PA, but didn’t help in the latest tackle on the road against Ponte Preta. As the forthcoming hosts lost another key defender in the previous battle, the team’s defense will now be vulnerable irrespective of any playing scheme.

Meanwhile, Atletico GO followed four-game no-win streak which had covered two defeats and two draws with three-match winning series. The team has beaten Sampaio Correa 3:2, Brasil de Pelotas 2:1 and Boa 2:0 in the latest fights. With the exception of the clean sheet in the derby against Vila Nova FC, “Dragao” didn’t exchange goals only in one single tackle conducted on the road. This was in the very first round dating back this April when Atletico GO failed 0:1 against Coritiba due to the playmaker’s dismissal. Although it looks like there aren’t going be any problems with visitors’ offense, the defense will definitely suffer as some key backs will be under suspension.
Thus, two best attacking sides of the Brazilian Serie B will meet on Thursday as Fortaleza have scored 22 goals and Atletico GO have scored 25 goals14 rounds played. It is obvious that the rivals will do their best to take three points from the opponent, still, both teams will face certain problems in defense. Hence, I would assume that the clubs will swop by the goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
