In the 8th round, Fortaleza beat Chapecoense with great difficulty (3-2). This victory was the first for the Lions in the last five matches. Three out of four other games ended in a draw, and another meeting ended in a defeat. Interestingly, Fortaleza played three out of five matches on the road and did not concede a single goal in two of them. In all three cases, Fortaleza's opponents scored first. At the same time, the Lions conceded in both home matches.
In May 2019, the teams ended the Brazilian Cup match in a goalless draw. After that, all four head-to-head games ended in favor of Athletico Paranaense. Only in two out of five cases did both sides score. Interestingly, Fortaleza scored first but then inevitably lost. In four of the last five matches of Athletico Paranaense, one of the goals was scored between the 46th and 80th minutes. The same thing happened in three out of five games of Fortaleza. Beyond that, seven of the last 15 goals in the last five games involving Atletico Paranaense were scored after the break. Fortaleza and their opponents scored in the same interval in seven out of ten cases. There is a reason to believe that the upcoming game will also please the fans with a goal scored after halftime.
Prediction for the match: Goal to be scored in the interval from the 46th to 80th minute
