• Competition: Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A
• Date: Friday, 15th, September 2023
• Kickoff: 00:00 CEST
• Venue: Castelao (Fortaleza)

Corinthians will strive to put an end to their three-game winless streak across all competitions when they visit Fortaleza at Castelao in their Matchday 23 clash of the Brazilian Serie A on Friday.

After establishing a remarkable streak of five consecutive victories, dominating everything in their path in both the Copa Sudamericana and the Brazilian Serie A, Fortaleza hit a roadblock called Fluminense. Sadly, Leao do Pici entered their ten-day break due to international obligations on a sour note, suffering a 0-1 defeat to Fluzao with a late goal conceded in the 90+2 minute. Despite that setback, Fortaleza stands firm in eighth place with 32 points, trailing the Copa Libertadores qualification spots by only four points.

As for the guests, Corinthians seems to have put their nightmarish season start behind them, with the past few months showcasing evident signs of improvement. In their last fixture prior to the international break, Timao successfully resisted the onslaught from the reigning Brazilian champions, Palmeiras, securing a precious point in a goalless draw, 0-0. It was the third successive stalemate for the boys in black and white kits, continuing their climb up the table and now occupying 13th position with 26 points.

1. Fortaleza vs Corinthians Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

At first glance, it may seem like Fortaleza holds the upper hand in terms of form and the home advantage, but grabbing all the spoils against Corinthians is easier said than done. While Timao has been experiencing a drought in terms of victories (with only one win in their last six games), it's equally important to acknowledge that numerous opposing teams have been left scratching their heads in search of a way to overcome them, with just one defeat in their last 17 matches across all competitions.

It's intriguing how Vanderlei Luxemburgo's side has become experts in securing "X" results, recording their fourth draw in the last five matches, last time out against the reigning titleholders, Palmeiras. Furthermore, the teams that Fortaleza has recently triumphed over are a far cry from Corinthians' caliber.

Therefore, we maintain an optimistic outlook that Timao, with their sturdy style of football, will manage to secure at least a point from this visit.
