Velez Sarsfield will seek to wrap up their Copa Libertadores round of 16 tie against Fortaleza when they host the Brazilians. Heading into the return leg, this encounter is well balanced at 0-0. Below we have a prediction of the match.
At the group stage, Velez Sarsfield topped their pool with 11 points, losing one of the six games. They failed to win three and carry somewhat a similar run here. The Argentines have won just once in the last five matches.
That victory came in their latest match, a 2-1 outcome at home to Independiente. However, being on a six-game unbeaten home run, they will be confident of unlocking this tie.
Fortaleza will rue the missed chance at home, in a match that also had Matheus Rossetto sent off 14 minutes after coming on. The visitors finished second in their group, having managed just two wins in six.
They arrive for this game winless in the last five matches, a run that includes three defeats. The Brazilians won’t be in really great spirits, as they have only won once in their last 16 matches.
Fortaleza lost 10 times in that run, while they haven't tasted victory in 12 straight matches on the road. The fact that they failed to score in the last three Copa Libertadores matches doesn’t help.
