Head-to-head statistics Fortaleza - CRB
The main storyline surrounding Fortaleza
In their last Série B match on 7 October 2026, Fortaleza won away at América Mineiro 1-0. Despite having less possession, they had more shots - 13 to 8 - and nine of those came from inside the box, compared to just two from their opponents.
Fortaleza have been consistent over a longer stretch: they are unbeaten in their last ten matches, with five wins and five draws. They are averaging 1.3 goals scored per game during that run, with a very solid defensive record of just 0.7 conceded. Their last five matches have brought three draws and two wins, pointing to a pragmatic approach to results given how much is at stake in the promotion race. Their home record on totals is modest, though: in only one of their last nine home matches has the total gone over 2.5 goals.
Match Results: Fortaleza
Crvena Zvezda’s attack is firing on all cylinders, but their defense continues to show vulnerabilities.
After a goalless first half, CRB scored three times at home against Atlético Goianiense and won 3-1 in their most recent Série B match 7 October 2026. The hosts had a 9-2 advantage in shots on target.
KRB are the more open side - an average of 1.7 goals scored per game across their last ten matches reflects their attacking intent. Over that same period they have also been conceding at a rate of 1.3 per game, which makes their matches potentially more eventful at both ends. In their last five matches KRB have won three and lost two; the recent win will have given them a boost in confidence.
Match Results: Brasil
Match Result Prediction
Fortaleza have won 6 of their last 7 home head-to-head meetings with CRB, which points to a clear advantage on their own ground. This season they have lost at home just once, with 9 wins and 6 draws from 16 home matches. There is nothing in the data to contradict this, so we are backing a Fortaleza win at 1.80*.
Total Goals Prediction
In 8 of their last 9 home matches, Fortaleza have seen Total Goals - Under 2.5 land. Their home scoring figures this season average 1.56 goals scored and 0.88 conceded per game, which also points to fairly low-scoring affairs. The statistics give no strong reason to expect a high-scoring match, so the bet on Total Goals - Under 2.5 is priced at 1.72*.
Corners Prediction
CRB have won more than 4.5 corners in seven consecutive matches, which points to consistency in this area over a long run. There are no conflicting data points for this market, so CRB Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 is available at 1.71*.
Risky Bet
Given Fortaleza's strong home results and the fact that they have won 6 of their last 7 home head-to-head meetings with CRB, a bet on Fortaleza - Handicap (-1) at 2.50* looks promising. It is worth noting, however, that some of Fortaleza's home matches end in narrow wins or draws, which increases the risk of a push or a loss on this line.
Safe Bet
Total Goals - Over 1.5 has landed in five consecutive head-to-head meetings between these two sides, which supports the trend. This bet carries minimal risk, as both teams regularly score at least one goal each, and the odds are 1.32*.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-0 (12.36%), 1-1 (12.16%) and 2-1 (9.38%). A narrow Fortaleza win and a draw have similar probabilities, which reflects the cautious nature of most of the team's home matches. The highest probability belongs to a 1-0 result.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The most consistent trend involves Fortaleza's home record - high-scoring matches are rare there: Total Goals - Under 2.5 came in in eight of their last nine home matches in Série B, despite CRB's general productivity away from home and their high average attacking numbers this season. The hosts' defence remains the strongest argument against an open game, even with the pressure of wanting to climb the table - their current pragmatic approach makes a goal-fest unlikely even against an active opponent. The pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
