Week 18 brings us a match on Jul 20th, where Bragantino will host Fortaleza in a meeting of these two Serie A teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Bragantino is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against América Mineiro. Alerrandro scored the first goal for Bragantino in the 2nd minute, then Alerrandro added another in the 7th minute on a feed from Luan Candido In the end, América Mineiro was frustrated by Bragantino’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bragantino ended the match with the shutout victory. Bragantino is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 19th placed Fortaleza, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Atlético GO. Moises struck first for Fortaleza in the 74th minute on a feed from Silvio Romero, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Atlético GO was frustrated by Fortaleza’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Fortaleza ended the match with the shutout victory. Fortaleza looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Fortaleza’s top weapon lately has been Jose Romario Silva de Souza, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches. Bragantino is glad to have Alerrandro in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
