The Campeonato Brasileiro Série A serves up an intriguing fixture as Fortaleza EC hosts CA Mineiro. This Matchday 35 encounter sees a Fortaleza side desperate for points in their fight against relegation, currently sitting in 18th position. Their home advantage will be crucial as they face a mid-table CA Mineiro, who are comfortable in 11th place but will still be looking to finish the season strongly.
Fortaleza’s season has been challenging, marked by a struggle to find consistency. Their defensive record is a concern, having conceded 53 goals in 34 matches. However, with 37 goals scored, they show they can find the back of the net, especially when playing in front of their home crowd. CA Mineiro, on the other hand, boasts a more balanced record, with 37 goals scored and 39 conceded, reflecting their stable, albeit unspectacular, position in the league.
This match promises to be a battle of contrasting motivations. Fortaleza needs to go all out for a win, which will likely lead to an open game. Mineiro, without the same pressure, can play with more freedom, potentially exploiting any defensive vulnerabilities the home side might present.

Our Prediction
Given Fortaleza’s precarious league position, they will undoubtedly push forward aggressively at home, seeking a crucial victory. Their season’s goal statistics confirm their ability to score, but also their vulnerability at the back. CA Mineiro, while sitting comfortably in mid-table, is a capable side with enough attacking prowess to trouble Fortaleza’s leaky defense. The strong trend of both teams scoring in their recent head-to-head encounters, including the recent 3-3 thriller, makes a compelling case for goals.
Our betting experts believe the most reliable wager for this match is for both teams to find the back of the net.
