Fortaleza vs America MG Predictions

• Each of Fortaleza’s last seven home league games produced under 2.5 total goals.
• Five of Fortaleza’s last seven home games ended level.
• Sixteen of America MG’s last 20 away league games produced under 2.5 total goals.

A gritty bottom-half encounter

After 12 rounds of Serie A action, Fortaleza prop up the rest of the league with just one win to their name. Currently out of touch with positions of safety, things need to change and fast for the hosts, but a frustrating run of five draws from their last seven home games, each of which produced under 2.5 goals must end soon.

America MG find themselves in the bottom-half of the table at this stage of the season, though they are in a group of sides placed between fourth and 14th that are separated by a mere three points ahead of this round, so a win here could propel them into the top-half of the standings.

This isn’t likely to be a game for the neutrals, as league games involving Fortaleza (2.1) and America MG (2.1) averaged around two goals per-game. As such, these sides make up two of the three teams which have seen the lowest scoring games on average so far this season.

Sitting on the fence

Given the dire form of both of these sides, it is tough to pick a winner. However, we predict that the value lies in backing under 2.5 goals in this encounter, with a smaller stakes selection on a 1-1 draw in a result that would cause further frustration for both outfits.
