Literally crawling to survive in the Serie A by their physical style of play and negative tactics, Avai will sigh a breath of relief on Thursday night. This is because they play the worst-ranked side in the league, Fortaleza, at home. Both sides have now ended 4 of their last 5 games without a win and that will surely lead to a very dull game of 90 minutes on the field, but rather a very opportunistic betting tie for the gambling community.
Avai vs Fortaleza Betting Tips
Despite being an overall weak side this season, Avai's home form has been more than decent. The hosts have won 4 of their last 5 games at this venue. But, they seem to have a love-hate relationship with Fortaleza, who they haven't beaten in the last four meetings (3 losses). There is no doubt that Avai will concede in this game as they have against 6 of their last 7 opponents and in each of the last 6 meetings with Fortaleza. But, we believe that they take their previous head-to-head record and reverse it tonight. We are going for a 2-1 Avai win in this game with Over 2.5 Goals as our favoured tip.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- ACCA: BTTS + Over 2.5 + Avai win or draw
- Prediction: 2-1 Avai

Avai Team News
Avai will be missing three key players against Fortaleza. Their number one keeper Douglas Friedrich picked up a knock against Botafogo in the previous game, and will not be risked on Thursday for sure. Vladimir should take his place between the sticks. Defensive midfielder Bruno Silva picked up a silly red card in the 97th minute in the same game and will be suspended for this one, alongside left-back Diego Matos who was sent off against Atletico GO previously. Defensively, this side looks very bleak ahead of this Fortaleza fixture.
Fortaleza Team News
Leader centre-back Marcelo Benevenuto has been playing through pain for the last three games now, and though he has started Fortaleza's fixtures off-late and put in magnanimous performances, his potential injury scare might be giving Juan Pablo Vojvoda nightmares. Attacking midfielder Lucas Lima will be the biggest threat for Avai as he has put in a shift in each of the last two games (and probably the entire season) for his side. Lima created 8 chances in the last two games, out of which the forwards could finish only one, which seems to be the very reason why Fortaleza sit last in the competition. Lack of conversion ability will relegate the side, this season.
