Fortaleza EC have lost just six matches all season and come into this fixture on a five-game unbeaten run. America Mineiro have struggled throughout the campaign, losing 22 of their 31 league fixtures and failing to score in each of their last four games. Backing Fortaleza on the double chance accounts for their frequent draws away from home while giving strong probability against an out-of-form opponent.

Match preview
America Mineiro host Fortaleza EC in round 32 of Serie B, with both clubs operating at opposite ends of the standings. The home side sits 19th with 17 points from 31 matches, having suffered 22 defeats across the campaign. America Mineiro enter this contest on a four-match losing streak, failing to score a single goal during that run while conceding six.
Fortaleza EC remain firmly in contention for promotion, occupying 5th place with 53 points and trailing the top four only on goal difference. The visitors have demonstrated consistency in recent weeks, remaining unbeaten across their last five fixtures with two victories and three draws. Their disciplined defensive record, which has yielded 13 clean sheets and an average of 0.9 goals conceded per game, forms the cornerstone of their push for the upper positions.
While America Mineiro managed a 3-0 victory in the reverse league fixture in June, their subsequent form has deteriorated significantly. Fortaleza EC have avoided defeat in 10 of their 15 away matches this season, making them well placed to secure at least a point against a struggling host.
