⭐ Editor's Prediction
Independiente Medellin are considered favourites for this match, although the visitors' recent results do not suggest they have a clear advantage. That makes the teams' goalscoring records more interesting. Fortaleza regularly make defensive mistakes, but they have also scored and conceded in each of their last five home matches. Independiente Medellin show a similar trend: both teams have scored in seven of their last eight away matches. Given how consistent these trends are and both sides' defensive problems, our pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
