Estudiantes vs Fortaleza Prediction: Betting on a draw

The return round of the Libertadores Cup will end with an Argentine-Brazilian clash in which Estudiantes will face Fortaleza. The first round resulted in a 1:1 draw. Now, the odds are in favor of the home side, the Argentinian Lions. Also, we will be looking forward to seeing the fight in the next fixture.

The Lions approach the game with a four-match unbeaten streak. The only draw in this period was against Fortaleza, an away game for the Lions. The other fixtures were trivial losses: Independiente, NOD, and Arsenal Sarandi. The results are poor, and Estudiantes, who had a spectacular performance in the group stage, are now only at the bottom of the Argentinian league table, in 18th place. The Lions had a decent away game against Fortaleza, and we will see if Estudiantes can do even better on home soil.

After two successive victories over America and Ceara, Fortaleza cannot win three games in a row. In addition to the draw against Estudiantes, the Tricolours lost away to Atletico Mineiro and Coritiba. Fortaleza is in last place on the table. With the tournament's equator coming up, the Tricolores should already consider retaining their place in the elite. Fortaleza finished second in Group F in the group stage, losing the lead to River Plate, which has already dropped out of the tournament. The away side achieved two victories and one defeat by the Millionaires.

Both teams are not in the best shape at the moment, as we can see from the results, and the Tricolores are also concerned about their position in Brasileirao. The visitors will hardly sacrifice the chance to play in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores Cup, but there are doubts that the visitors can now play at their best, as well as the hosts. We believe that the upcoming game will be unproductive. As for the outcomes, we suggest betting on a 1:1 draw.
