Brazilian side Fortaleza and Argentina’s Velez Sarsfield will face off in the Copa Libertadores knockout playoffs after progressing from the group stage. Fortaleza will host the first leg as both teams look to rise from poor runs domestically. We have a prediction for the match below.
Fortaleza will go into this game desperately in need of a win. The Brazilians are coming from a 5-0 home defeat at the hands of Botafogo in the domestic league.
That was their fourth loss in the last six matches, a run that has earned them one win only. They progressed from Group E with eight points, finishing second.
Velez Sarsfield topped Group H after garnering three more points than Fortaleza. They lost once in the six group games, but they haven't been at their best lately. The Argentine side comes here off the back of a 1-0 defeat at San Lorenzo.
That marked a third straight match in which they failed to score, and the visitors will be eyeing improvement on that aspect. In Copa Libertadores action, Velez have just one win in the last four matches.
Two of those were drawn, while they are winless on the road in the last two in this competition.
