Match preview: Fluminense vs Fortaleza

Fluminense and Fortaleza meet at the Figueira de Melo Stadium for the 20th round of Brazileirão Serie A. In their last encounter in this league, Fortaleza claimed a 2-0 victory at home on 29 March 2025. However, Fluminense has performed well historically at home against this opponent, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in their last 6 meetings. The last matchup at this venue ended in a 2-2 draw on 23 November 2024, with goals from Germán Cano and Lima for Fluminense and Marinho and Moses for Fortaleza. Home advantage may play a crucial role, as Fortaleza’s performance varies significantly between home and away games.

Team analysis: Fluminense

The home side currently sits in 9th place, having amassed 24 points from 7 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a home win against Grêmio (1-0), but most recently drew 3-3 away to Bahia. The team exhibits consistency, performing similarly at home and away. Over the last 30 matches, they have recorded 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, scoring 22 goals and conceding 18, compared to their home tally of 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, with 20 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last outing in the Copa Sudamericana, they triumphed over América de Cali (2-1). At home in the league, Fluminense has tallied 16 points from 24 possible in their last 8 matches, with patterns emerging; for instance, they often lead at half-time and finish games with a score of 2-1. Their defence has shown some frailty, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 matches, yet they have maintained a steady attack, scoring in 8 out of 10 league games this season. Notably, they have only managed to come back in 2 instances after going behind in matches during this campaign.

Following their underwhelming performance in the Super World, Fluminense needed a change in mentality on the pitch – and they appear to have adapted well. Coach Renato Portaluppi is leveraging the strengths of his players effectively, facilitating their upward trajectory in the league standings. They arrive at this fixture undefeated in their last two matches and are relying on their abilities to navigate the challenges posed by Fortaleza.

Team analysis: Fortaleza

The visiting team is struggling, currently placed 18th with just 15 points from 3 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses. Their recent performance includes a draw against Corinthians (1-1) in their penultimate match and a heavy defeat at home to Botafogo (0-5). Historically, they perform much better at home, recording 8 draws and 7 losses in their last 30 matches on the road; conversely, they have seen 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses at their own ground. Their last match ended in a goalless draw against Vélez Sarsfield. They have earned only 4 points from 24 available in the league, with 4 draws and 4 defeats out of their last 8 away fixtures. Notably, they have not won any of their last 8 games outside their stadium, with a common scoreline being 1-0 at half-time (3 times in 8 matches). Defensive solidity has eluded them as they have conceded in each of their last 10 league games. In 18 matches in this competition, they have never managed to recover after going behind in the 9 games where they conceded first.

Fortaleza finds themselves once again struggling in the Brazileirão. The players have appeared lacklustre on the pitch, showing little drive in this pressure-filled situation as their league standing worsens. Now in the relegation zone, they have suffered two losses in the last three matches, highlighting the urgent need for a strategic change. A more conservative approach might provide the key to overcoming a confident Fluminense side.
