Fortaleza x Corinthians prediction: our selection of the best bets
Fortaleza victory
Fortaleza should be the team to achieve the best result in the Fortaleza x Corinthians prediction match.

Both teams to score: yes
Still, both clubs must score in the Fortaleza x Corinthians prediction duel.
The home team is coming off a defeat, and while they have the greatest chance of winning playing at home, they are still coming off a result that weakens the team’s strategy a little. Corinthians, however, is coming off a draw against the runner-up in the championship, with a distance of 12 places between them and their previous rival Palmeiras, which makes the 0-0 score considered a good defense.
With a recovery, Renato on the pitch and a good chance of Fagner’s return, the team solidifies even more with good chances of scoring. It is worth remembering that the Alvingero team has the most victories over Fortaleza, and this counts for a good chance of scoring.
