Nautico vs Fortaleza: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Recife finished third in Serie C last year—which was enough for promotion. Moreover, at this level, the squad has been increasingly impressive, quickly gaining momentum and starting to win frequently. That makes their slip in the previous round all the more surprising, as they lost to Sport Recife, and without a chance, 0-2.
The team from Fortaleza was relegated from the top division again at the end of last season. However, they are clearly aiming to return. Still, not everything is going as planned: in May, they went three games without a win, although they did eliminate CRB from the cup during that run. In the last round, they lost 0-1 to Athletic Club, dropping even further down the league table.
The division newcomer scores an average of 1.45 goals per game at this higher level, conceding one per match. The players who were in Serie A a year ago are averaging exactly one goal scored per match but are conceding 1.64.
