2.65Tip and bets
Fortaleza has not looked too confident in recent matches, the lack of quality reserves in the conditions of a fight on two fronts makes itself felt. After a tough match against Botafogo in the championship, the Tricolors clearly do not have much strength left, Corinthians has a much wider squad and due to this advantage, the Teamau are quite capable of avoiding defeat.
We believe that the hosts will not be able to win. Betting Tip - Corinthians will not lose . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on total
Fortaleza does not play bright attacking football and does not have a sky-high scoring rate, despite its high position in the tournament table. It is unlikely that the "tricolors" will take risks and go forward with large forces today, the price of a mistake is too high. The same can be said about Corinthians, which will clearly rely on defense - it is unlikely that they should count on a goal extravaganza.
Bet - total under two goals. This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on corners
Fortaleza will clearly be playing first at home and will spend a lot of time attacking – the hosts should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Fortaleza win on corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
