Week 1 features a match on Sun Apr 10th, where Fortaleza will play host to Cuiabá in a clash of these two closely matched Serie A teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which is great football weather. Fortaleza has not played yet this season, while 11th placed Cuiabá is fresh off their 2-2 draw against Figueirense. Rodriguinho struck first for Cuiabá in the 56th minute, then Zé Mário tied it up for Figueirense in the 74th minute , but luckily for Cuiabá it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn the win. Cuiabá is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Cuiabá won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Élton has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored four goals for Cuiabá. Robson Fernandes and Valentín Depietri are the top scorers for Fortaleza in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
