Fortaleza vs. Corinthians - prediction, team news, lineups

Fortaleza

Fortaleza will be looking to build on their impressive start to the season when they host Corinthians at the Castelão on Sunday. Vojvoda's men have won four of their opening five matches in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and they will be confident of causing an upset against the reigning champions.

Fortaleza have a strong record at home, and they will be looking to make the most of the backing of their passionate supporters. They will be without the suspended Lucas Lima, but they have plenty of other attacking options to choose from, including Moisés, Robson, and Pedro Rocha.

Corinthians

Corinthians have also made a solid start to the season, winning three of their opening five matches. They will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they travel to Fortaleza.

Corinthians have a strong squad, and they will be confident of getting a result against Fortaleza. They will be without the injured Renato Augusto, but they have plenty of other quality players to choose from, including Willian, Róger Guedes, and Yuri Alberto.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but Fortaleza's home form and the absence of Renato Augusto for Corinthians give them a slight edge. I predict a 2-1 win for Fortaleza.
