Retro will be looking to secure back-to-back victories for the second time in 2025 when they host Fortaleza in the first leg of the third round of the Brazilian Cup on Tuesday.
The hosts are ninth in the third division, while Fortaleza currently occupy fourth place in the Brazilian top flight.
Retro were last in action on Saturday night when they hosted Figueirense in the league, looking to end a two-match winless streak. Milton Mendes' side overcame a first-half deficit to win 2-1 and will be hoping for a similar display against Fortaleza on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, it's surprising that Fortaleza are still fourth in Serie A given their recent poor form. The visitors are without a win in eight games in all competitions and, to make matters worse, they failed to score in half of those fixtures.
Retro FC vs Fortaleza Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Since conceding three goals against Central on 22 February, Retro have been solid at the back and I think that will be crucial against Fortalaza on Tuesday. The hosts conceded more than one goal in only one of their last ten games and two of their last three have ended with no more than one goal.
Fortaleza are also struggling in front of goal at the moment, having scored under one goal in all of their last eight matches. Five of those games finished with under two goals and I expect a similar scoreline on Tuesday night.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Retro FC vs Fortaleza prediction: 1-1

Retro FC team news
Retro didn't suffer any injuries in Saturday night's win over Figueirense, so it won't be a surprise if head coach Milton Mendes keeps his XI intact.
Having started the comeback in that game, Maycon Douglas will start in the final third and will be supported by Radsley Eduardo, who was also on the scoresheet against Figueirense.

Fortaleza team news
Emanuel Brítez has been out since January with an ankle injury and Tuesday's game will come too soon for the centre back.
Fortaleza's injury list also includes Moisés, Marinho, Emmanuel Martínez and David Luiz, while Rodrigo Santos is a doubt due to lack of fitness.
