Independiente Fortaleza betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the Copa Sudamericana with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa do Nordeste, they got a home win against Santa Cruz by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches Fortaleza has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 56 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 7 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.

The Libertadores da América stadium will host a unique moment, at least for Fortaleza. This is the first participation of the club in the Copa Sudamericana and it does not want to put on a bad show. On the other hand, they took a spoonful, one of the biggest winners in South America and will need to adapt to that. It will not be easy to win in Argentina and to be fair, the important thing is to come home with a result that opens the margins so that they can seek the qualifier in the return game. Therefore, they should focus on stopping the local team and try to risk themselves in the offensive sector through counterattacks and dead balls. In this match, the best players available will be in the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Felipe Alves, Juan Quintero, Felipe, Paulão, Bruno Melo, Mariano Vázquez, Juninho, Gabriel Dias, Osvaldo, David da Fonseca, Romarinho.
Coach: J. Vojvoda.
