General match analysis
Cuiabá have significantly stronger home numbers: they concede just 0.7 goals per match, keep a clean sheet in 50% of games, and lose only 20% of their home fixtures. Despite sitting 4th in the table, Fortaleza average just 0.5 goals away from home, fail to score in 50% of matches, and lose 50% of their away games. The hosts also create higher-quality chances, recording a home xG of 1.71 compared with Fortaleza’s away xG of 1.34, while opponents are allowed an xG of 1.62. Both teams have been inefficient in their last five matches, scoring 4 and 3 goals respectively, which increases the likelihood of a draw. However, Cuiabá’s defensive edge and home advantage point towards a narrow victory for the hosts.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The statistics clearly support a scenario in which at least one team fails to score: BTTS occurred in 40% of Cuiaba’s matches and just 30% of Fortaleza’s, compared with the league average of 49%. Fortaleza scores an average of only 0.5 goals away from home, fails to score in 50% of its matches, and has scored just 3 goals in its last five appearances. Cuiaba keeps a clean sheet in 50% of its home matches, while its defense concedes an average of 0.8 goals. The hosts have greater offensive potential, averaging 1.8 goals, 5.5 shots on target, and an xG of 1.73, making a Cuiaba win to nil the most likely outcome. The current form also confirms this direction, as BTTS occurred in 40% of Cuiaba’s and 20% of Fortaleza’s last five matches, respectively.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Cuiabá average 1.8 goals at home and create chances worth 1.73 xG, while Fortaleza score just 0.5 goals per away game and have failed to score in 50% of their matches. The recent form of both teams further limits the projection: Cuiabá have scored 4 goals in their last five matches, and Fortaleza 3, averaging 0.8 and 0.6 goals respectively. Over the full season, only 20% of Cuiabá’s matches and 10% of Fortaleza’s matches went over 3.5 goals, while the percentages of games finishing under this line are 80% and 90%, respectively. The hosts should hold a clear attacking advantage, but the visitors’ low scoring efficiency and the combined projection of 2.10 goals provide the strongest support for an Under 3.5 goals pick.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Cuiabá win, as the hosts were level after 45 minutes in 3 of their 10 matches and in as many as 80% of their last five games. The opening phase should be cautious: Cuiabá average 0.7 goals before the break, compared with Fortaleza’s 0.2, while both teams keep a clean sheet in the first half in 70% and 60% of their matches, respectively. After the break, the hosts’ advantage increases significantly, as they score an average of 1.1 goals compared with Fortaleza’s mere 0.3. Across the season, Cuiabá win 80% of their matches, score 1.8 goals per game and have an xG of 1.73, whereas Fortaleza score only 0.5 goals, lose 50% of their matches and have an xG of 1.34. Additionally, the visitors failed to score before half-time in 80% of their matches, further supporting the HT/FT scenario of a cautious draw at the break followed by a turnaround in favour of the hosts.
