Internacional vs Fortaleza Betting Tips - Fortaleza or Draw
Fortaleza return to action this week looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2:0 defeat at title rivals Botafogo ten days ago.
Currently placed second in Serie A, Fortaleza have enjoyed a superb recent run of results. Prior to their defeat last weekend, Juan Vojvoda´s men had gone 12 games unbeaten, with ten wins collected during that unbeaten run.
Unbeaten in six of their last seven away Serie A matches, the visitors will be confident of getting another positive against an Internacional side that has struggled to find much finning form this season.
Indeed, while the hosts have managed to win three of their last five league matches, two of those wins came against struggling Juventune, and they had failed to win any of their previous 12 league matches. While undeniably tough to beat, Roger Machada´s men have only managed to win two of their last eight home fixtures since June.
Fortaleza scored a 1:0 win when these sides last met at this venue in August 2023, and a similar outcome seems likely on Wednesday.
Considering the visitors' much better form this year, I'm confident Fortaleza will at least avoid defeat on Wednesday. BTTS is another likely outcome with both teams in good form over the past couple of weeks, but I'm putting my money on the Leão do Pici in the double chance market.
