Caxias Fortaleza betting prediction

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the Copa do Brasil with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Brasil de Pelotas by (0‑0). Caxias has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 14 of the last 33 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 23 out of 33 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 19 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The team from Rio Grande do Sul will once again have a first division team on their way, repeating last year, when they faced Botafogo, which until then was in the elite of Brazilian football. Knowing their own inferiority, Caxias will seek to focus on marking, leaving to explore the attack in counterattacks and set plays, an important weapon of the caxiense team.

Confirmed Lineup: Marcelo Pitol, Eduardo Gabriel, Bruno Ré, Thiago Sales, Guilherme Mattis, Jhon Cley, Diogo Oliveira, Juliano, Marlon, Milla, Mazola.
Coach: R. Zimmermann.
