Fortaleza hosts Cuiaba in round 18 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 31st at Castelão (Fortaleza)
Fortaleza played in the country's 3rd division back in 2017. Having made two promotions in a row, the Steel Tricolors returned to Serie A in 2019. But they were not particularly impressive, especially in the last draw, when they dropped from 9th to 16th place. But this summer, the club has made serious gains. The controversial bet on Argentine Vojvoda has worked better than many would have thought. Fortaleza is among the leaders at the end of August, lagging behind only Palmeiras and Atletico Mineiro. Moreover, the Steel Tricolors beat the Green-Whites, but it was the only victory in the last four matches.

Cuiaba has only recently started playing in Serie B. And at the end of last season, the Green-Golds finished in 4th place and got the opportunity to make their debut in Brasileirao. So far, they are doing well, given the obvious challenge: not to be relegated to the lower division. In 17 games played, exactly one goal was scored on average per game, and only 18 goals were conceded. Moreover, if the newcomer could not win in the first nine rounds, then it managed to gain four victories. Two out of three last matches brought three points. And Cuiaba even beat one of the leaders, Palmeiras, in the previous round. But before that, the Green-Golds lost to Gremio, which is at the bottom of the standings. In general, it is definitely too early to relax.
These teams played only ten head-to-head matches. And Cuiaba gained only one victory. On the other hand, the Green-Golds did not lose after that and won two draws. However, they were gained back in 2017. Judging by the quotes, most are waiting for the victory of the hosts. But everything is not so obvious, and it is better to choose the option with low production.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
