Fortaleza take on the visitors Fluminense in the first leg of Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. The match will be played on Friday, July 29th at Castelão (Fortaleza).
Fortaleza after last year's jump ended up in a crisis. The Tricolors of Steel were able to take 4th place in 2021, just short of the best results in their history. But now everything turned into a move to approximately the same positions, only from the other end. The Brazilians partly compensated for this failure in the Cope Libertadores, where they left the group. But already in the 1/8 finals they were knocked out by Estudiantes (1-1 at home, 0-3 in Argentina). Now for ambitions there remains a cup, where in the last round to pass Ceara. But is it necessary to tear the veins further. After all, things are not going well in Serie A. Yes, they played 0-0 with Santos - but this result leaves them in last place in the table.

Fluminense looks good now. The "Team of Warriors" this year "celebrates" the anniversary, 10 years since its 4th and so far the last championship. After this triumph, nothing really serious was demonstrated. On the contrary, the lion's share of the seasons ended with the finish at the bottom half of the standings. Against this background, the 7th position taken in Brasilerao 2021 already looked like some progress. And, most importantly, it seems to be continuing now. Not everything works out, and, for example, performances in the Copa Sudamericana ended in a group stage. But on the other hand, it turned out to gradually add in the framework of Serie A, rising into the group of leaders. 2-1 with Red Bull Bragantino allowed to gain a foothold in 3rd place in the table. In parallel, the wards of Fernando Dinis knocked out Cruzeiro in the previous round of the cup.
Fortaleza in the past, a successful season, took 4 points in 2 matches. But in June, Fluminense took revenge, winning for the 4th time in the last 7 head-to-head fights. Fluminense must understand that everything will be decided in the second leg, home match for them, and not to tear the veins. But Fortaleza is very weak, so we bet on the guests with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Fluminense to win with 0.0 handicap.
