Fluminense are slightly favourites to win against Fortaleza. They are valued at 2.50 odds to win. Fluminense are away in this fixture and are in better form, so backing them to avoid defeat (+0.5) at 1.40 odds is the best available option in this game.

Fortaleza host Fluminense at the Estadio Governador Placido in the quarter finals on the Brazilian Cup on Friday.

Fluminense have been in very great form this season. The visitors are third in the league and have reached the quarter finals of the Brazilian Cup where they are favourites to qualify.

The visitors come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win at home to Red Bull Bragantino. That win was their second consecutive win and their fourth win in five games.

Fernando Diniz's team are unbeaten in their last ten games in all competitions, winning eight and sharing the spoils on two occasions. They are one of the most in-form teams in the country. Fluminense are in great attacking form scoring a total of twenty one goals in their last ten games — averaging more than two goals per game.

The away team are also good defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last five appearances. They are in very good form to match or outscore their opponents in this game.

Fortaleza have had a very contrasting season to Fluminense's. The hosts are bottom of the table in the Brazilian Serie A, picking up just three wins from nineteen games. They have had a good cup run but that has been mainly due to the opponents they faced, and it is very unlikely that they would get past Fluminense.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team have won just once in the last nine games, losing five and drawing three of those games. They aren't in the best of form to win this game.

Fortaleza come into this game on the back of a goalless draw at home to Santos FC. They lost the previous game in the away fixture at Red Bull Bragantino. The hosts are very poor offensively, scoring just two goals in their last five games.

Backing Fluminense to win or draw (+0.5) at 1.40 odds is the best option in this game as it carries lesser risk and good value .
