Match Preview
Fortaleza hosts São Paulo at the Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo on 1 October, with both teams seeking to improve their fortunes in Serie A. Fortaleza has struggled recently, managing just one point from their last five matches, while São Paulo has shown more resilience, earning three draws and a win in the same period. This contrast in form could play a significant role in the outcome of the match, as Fortaleza will be under pressure to secure a positive result in front of their home fans. Historically, encounters between these two sides have been closely contested, with five of the last ten meetings ending in draws. The trend of both teams finding the net in six of those matches suggests that a high-scoring affair could be on the cards. With Fortaleza's need for points and São Paulo's more stable form, the match could hinge on Fortaleza's ability to convert chances and break down a well-organised São Paulo defence. Expect a tactical battle, with both sides keen to exploit any defensive lapses.
