Fortaleza continues to do amazingly well this year, being the third-best placed club in Brazil. Fortaleza is the league's only team left undefeated at home, after winning six and tieing two of its eight matches here. This time, the fourteenth-placed Cuiaba will be the guest at the Castelao, on which they have never beaten Fortaleza. Cuiaba is a solid side, sometimes able to surprise stronger squads, just as they did vs. the second-placed Palmeiras when they won 2-0. The hosts are coming from a 2-2 visit to Sao Paulo, continuing their streak of three consecutive draws. A win would get Juan Vojvoda's men to second place, making their chances of playing in the next year's Copa Libertadores even bigger.

The hosts only miss Max Walef for this game. Meanwhile, the guests are without Murilo Rangel, who has already been out for the entire year. Fortaleza's previous home clash was against always-dangerous Santos, playing 1-1 with them two weeks ago. Cuiaba visited Fortaleza five times throughout history, losing four and sharing points in just one game. Fortaleza is a very consistent team this year, being great both offensively and defensively. So far, the hosts have been the fourth-best attacking side in the league, while also having the league's fourth-best defense.

The guests are making a push for Copa Sudamericana, South America's equivalent for Europa League, just after getting promoted from Serie B. Cuiaba is doing well in the top-tier of Brazilian football, keeping a fine defense which has conceded only eighteen goals so far. However, Jorginho's team hasn't been much of an offensive threat, finding the net seventeen times, and just eight times away from home.

I can see the hosts winning this game, and would choose them as my pick. Good luck!

福塔莱萨今年继续表现出色，成为巴西排名第三的俱乐部。福塔莱萨是联赛中唯一一支在主场保持不败的球队，在这里的八场比赛中，福塔莱萨赢了六场，平了两场。这一次，排名第14位的库亚巴将做客卡斯泰劳，他们从未在这里击败过福塔莱萨。库亚巴是一支实力雄厚的球队，有时能给实力较强的球队带来惊喜，就像他们2-0战胜排名第二的帕尔梅拉斯一样。主队在客场2:2战胜圣保罗，继续他们的三连平。一场胜利将使胡安·沃伊沃达的球队排名第二，这将使他们有更大的机会参加明年的解放者杯。

东道主只错过了麦克斯·沃夫。与此同时，穆利洛·兰格尔也缺席了，他已经缺席了整整一年。福塔莱萨的上一场主场比赛是在两周前与一向危险的桑托斯的一场1:1的比赛中。库亚巴在历史上曾五次造访福塔雷萨，在一场比赛中丢了四分。福塔莱萨今年是一支非常稳定的球队，无论是进攻还是防守都非常出色。到目前为止，东道主的进攻能力在联盟中排名第四，防守能力也在联盟中排名第四。

从乙级联赛升入甲级后，库亚巴在巴西顶级联赛中表现出色，防守很好，到目前为止只丢了18个球。然而，约金尼奥的球队在进攻上并没有太大的威胁，他们17次入网，只有8次远离主场。

我能看到东道主赢了这场比赛，我会选择他们作为我的选择。好运！
