Velez Sarsfield vs Fortaleza prediction

In the first-leg of this CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores round of 16 tie at Castelao in Fortaleza in Brazil last week, Velez Sarsfield and Fortaleza shared a goalless draw. Matheus Rossetto was sent off in the 88th minute for the Brazilians.

Since then, Velez defeated Independiente by two goals to one in their most recent outing at Estadio Jose Amalfitani in their most recent outing at the weekend. They have suffered just one defeat in their last eight matches across all competitions. Fortaleza, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Fluminense at the Maracana at the weekend to leave them still sat towards rock-bottom in the Brazilian Serie A table.

Fortaleza head to Argentina with a very limited squad and that is now even more depleted ahead of the second-leg, and Velez Sarsfield are the firm favourites here.
