An intriguing encounter awaits us on Thursday morning when Fortaleza and Rosario Central meet in the second leg of their Copa Sudamericana last-16 tie.
The hosts have done little wrong in recent months. Juan Pablo Vojvoda's side are unbeaten in ten games in all competitions and didn't concede more than one goal in any of those matches.
Rosario Central's form is the complete opposite of Fortaleza's. The visitors won just two of their last nine matches and go into Thursday's clash on a three-game winless run (two defeats and one draw).
Fortaleza vs Rosario Central Betting Tips: Fortaleza to win & under 2.5 goals
Rosario Central dominated the first leg of this tie. The match ended in a 1-1 draw but Fortaleza are a different proposition at this ground.
Tricolor de Aco have won eleven straight at the Castelão and are unbeaten there since March. The hosts kept a clean sheet in each of their last two home games and that's likely to be the case on Thursday.
Rosario Central have struggled for goals of late, especially away from home. The visitors failed to score in three of their last five away games, only one of which produced more than two goals. Matías Lequi's side have also lost three of their last four away from home.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Fortaleza vs Rosario Central prediction: 2-0

Fortaleza team news
Head coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be under pressure to start Breno Lopes this week after the striker came on as a substitute to score the stoppage-time winner against Bragantino last time out.
After getting on the scoresheet in the first leg, Marinho is expected to retain his place in the XI and could be joined up front by Renato Kayzer and Breno Lopes, while Benjamín Kuscevic will be the man to watch in defence.
