Fortaleza vs Pereira Prediction 1 August 2026
🔊 Fortaleza C.E.I.F. go into the second round of the Colombian Clausura as favourites against Deportes Pereira - despite not winning in quite some time. Let's look at why the bookmakers are so confident about the home side.
Head-to-Head
The last official match between these two sides took place on 24 January 2026 and ended 0-0. Here's how the stats looked that day (Deportes Pereira were the home side):
- possession: 38% vs 62%;
- corners: 4 vs 5;
- fouls: 8 vs 12;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 4;
- shots on target: 3 vs 1.
📊 Nine - yes, nine - of the last head-to-head meetings between Fortaleza C.E.I.F. and Deportes Pereira ended with at least one blank on the scoresheet. Three of those finished 0-0. Hard to call it dull, but it almost always comes down to defending.
Over the past two years, the sides have met eight times: three wins for Fortaleza, two for Pereira, three draws. The scoring numbers are just as telling - the hosts averaged 0.4 goals per game over that stretch, the visitors 0.5.
Head-to-head statistics Fortaleza - Pereira
Fortaleza C.E.I.F Team Overview

Fortaleza came back from the break with a draw in the first round, stretching their winless run to four matches. At home, though, they score consistently - 2.0 goals per game on average. Against an opponent who won't give much away defensively, a single goal could end up being the difference.

Deportivo Pereira Team Overview
In the first round , Deportes Pereira lost away to Llaneros (0:1). Match stats (Deportes Pereira vs Llaneros):
- possession: 55% vs 45%;
- corners: 3 vs 6;
- fouls: 17 vs 12;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 3;
- shots on target: 2 vs 11.
Deportes Pereira had a decent run in the Copa Colombia, but their return to league action was rough. They were clearly the better side against Llaneros, yet 11 shots on target and nothing to show for it is hard to ignore. Against a stronger, more defensive opponent in Fortaleza, the chances will be fewer - and with that kind of finishing, a blank from the visitors looks like a realistic outcome.
The away form tells its own story: five consecutive road defeats in Primera A and 25 matches without a win on the road - a consistent problem throughout the season. Goals away from home are just as scarce. Deportes Pereira have failed to score in 5 of their 7 away games, and in the other two they managed just one goal each time.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The key factor here is Deportes Pereira's away form: five straight defeats on the road in Primera A. That sits within a run of 25 away games without a win. Fortaleza look slightly more solid defensively and could take advantage of one or two chances in front of goal to secure a Fortaleza C.E.I.F. win. Predicted score: 1-0 to the home side.
