Match Preview
Fortaleza hosts Vélez Sarsfield in a crucial Copa Libertadores clash at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo on Tuesday. The Brazilian side has struggled recently, managing just one point from their last five matches, while Vélez has shown more resilience with two wins in that same period. Historically, these teams have faced each other ten times, with Fortaleza winning once and Vélez failing to secure any victories away from home, indicating a potential psychological advantage for the hosts.
One notable angle to consider is the defensive solidity of both teams, as evidenced by their recent form and head-to-head results. With no matches seeing over 2.5 goals in their last ten encounters and both teams struggling to find the net consistently, the likelihood of a low-scoring affair is high. Betting on "Under 2.5 goals" could be a prudent choice, especially given the odds of 2.9, reflecting the cautious approach both sides may adopt in this pivotal fixture.
