Fortaleza take on the visitors Flamengo in the round 28 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, September 29th at Castelão (Fortaleza).
Fortaleza still can't afford to relax. The "Tricolor of Steel" has been producing excellent results lately, showing fast and noticeable progress. In 2017, an 8-year stay in the 3rd division finally ended with a promotion. They passed the next league on the 1st attempt, getting into Serie A, where they played in 2019 for the first time in almost a decade and a half. Well, last year's peak was 4th place - not the best result in history, but very close to it. Now there is a sharp decline. The season started with the struggle for survival, but because after a powerful streak in August they rose in the standings. Still, there were defeats by Botafogo and Fluminense and only a draw with the main outsider - Juventude.

Flamengo continue to lose ground. The Vultures were great in 2019 when they won everything up to the Copa Libertadores. Then Jorge Jesus worked with them, but after he won the 2020 championship, he returned to his homeland, to Benfica (unsuccessfully, by the way). Already without him, the grand was limited to only 2nd place in Serie A and lost the final of the new Copa, and in order to win back positions, they relied on the new Portuguese - Paulo Souza. Unsuccessful, however, even with the current mentor, Dorival Junior, it is not yet possible to even return to the top three. However, now there are other priorities: having defeated Velez Sarsfield twice, the Brazilians made it to the final of the Copa Libertadores - to play there with Atlético Paranaense. Also, Sao Paulo was defeated 1-0 in 1/2 cup.
Flamengo had an excellent streak of 5 wins with a goalless draw in 6 recent head-to-heads. But in early June, Fortaleza unexpectedly won on the road with a goal in the 92nd minute. True, before that, Pedro did not convert a penalty kick with. Both clubs are not really interested in Serie A. We recommend betting on "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
