Ponte Preta and Fortaleza have met many times and the results have swung back and forth, with both sides having won at home. This time the context is different, because Ponte Preta are sinking at the bottom of the table while Fortaleza are pushing up toward the top. Ponte Preta have played 34 matches and collected only 14 points, their attack is blunt and their defense is leaking badly. They have not won in their last five matches and were just thrashed 1-5 in a single game. Fortaleza, meanwhile, are still unbeaten in the league this season and just won 2-0 in their latest match, with their defense not conceding at all. This game will likely see Fortaleza dominate possession and push forward, while Ponte Preta sit deep and wait to counter. If Ponte Preta can hold up and avoid conceding early, the game could drag on and end without much separation, which is the path Ponte Preta want.
