Team News

Fortaleza
Ceara
  • David and Lucas Crispim could return here.
  • Robson returns from a ban, but Fortaleza lose Lucas Lima.
  • Fernando Sobral returns following suspension.

Prediction

  • After almost two years, fans return to the stands for a Clássico-Rei. This edition has the potential to be a classic.
  • If Ceara win, they will narrow the gap between themselves and their rivals to four points, as well as giving themselves an outside chance of Libertadores qualification. A defeat and results not going in their favour could see them dragged into a relegation battle.
  • Fortaleza will be hoping to improve on recent performances. They are without a victory in four and were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Bragantino at the weekend. A victory over their arch-nemesis would be a perfect way to get things back on track.
