Cruzeiro vs Fortaleza – Free Betting Tips, Odds & Predictions
These are our Cruzeiro vs Fortaleza predictions and tips:
Contents
We would like to point out that both teams have struggled to find their best form in recent weeks. On one hand, Cruzeiro are currently on a six-match winless streak, with three draws and three losses. On the other hand, Fortaleza are coming off back-to-back losses, with no wins in their last three games. It’s also worth mentioning that Fortaleza have drawn more matches than any other team in the Serie A this season; they’ve played a total of 10 league games so far, and five of them ended in stalemates. Considering 50% of Fortaleza’s league matches were level after 90 minutes, we believe the spoils will be shared between these teams.
One Team to Blank
Oftentimes when a team is on a winless streak, it’s partly because of their inability to find the back of the net. This has been the case with both Cruzeiro and Fortaleza in recent weeks. It’s important to note that Fortaleza did not score a single goal in their last three matches, while Cruzeiro blanked in three of their last five games in all competitions. Due to their lack of goals, both teams’ recent matches haven’t featured many goals. As a matter of fact, at least one team failed to score in all of Fortaleza’s last five matches; and for this reason, we shouldn’t expect goals at both ends.
Less Than 3 Goals
Our last Cruzeiro vs Fortaleza prediction is on the over/under goals market. We’ve already established that Fortaleza did not register any goals in their last three games; so it’s no surprise that they’ve been involved in a few low-scoring matches. Interestingly, all of Fortaleza’s last five matches went south of the 2.5 goal marker. Likewise, five of Cruzeiro’s last six games featured less than three goals; and on that note, we don’t think these teams will score up to three goals between them.

Fortaleza
Like today’s opponents, Fortaleza have been going through a rough patch lately; they are without a win in three games, and have lost their last two matches. Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s lads will set their sights on all three available points, and they’ll fancy their chances against this Cruzeiro side.
