Fortaleza vs Sao BernardoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Fortaleza EC host São Bernardo as the fourth-placed side on 36 points, six clear of the visitors, who are twelfth on 30 after twenty-two rounds. The gap in the table flatters the fixture, because the two profiles run in opposite directions. At home Fortaleza EC have been close to untouchable: eight wins, one draw and a single loss with 18 goals scored and 8 conceded. On their travels the picture inverts, two victories in twelve trips and only 6 goals produced. São Bernardo turn that pattern upside down: six wins in ten away days with 18 goals, against just two home successes in twelve attempts. The visitors bring the busier attack, 31 goals against 24, but also the heavier deficit at the back, 25 against 20. In a Serie B declaring 2.28 goals per game, São Bernardo's own matches have delivered fifty-six in twenty-two rounds. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
