Fortaleza have been the absolute worst team in the Brazilian top flight this time around and are deservingly placed bottom-most in the table. They have recorded a total of one win so far all through the campaign and are conceding goals as if there is no tomorrow.
Meanwhile Avai have had certain troubles lately but it needs to be mentioned that they have been on a good run at home this season. They have consistently found the back of the net here and are determined to keep this momentum going on as well.
Likely they are expected to have the upper hand this Thursday. But their recent defensive issues lead us to believe that it might be hard for them to keep a clean sheet this coming match-day.
Avai were unbeaten in 8 of their past 13 overall fixtures and they had remained so in 8 of their past 10 appearances at home as well. They had also won 3 of their past 5 home fixtures, and the last they failed to score at this venue was back in the second week of February.
However, taking into account the head-to-head superiority of Fortaleza, count on them to find the back of the net at least once.
