Tactical analysis

Expect a cagey opening 30 minutes with Fortaleza EC controlling 55%+ possession in their [score withheld]-[score withheld] shape. Ceara will likely sit in a mid-block, looking for transitions. Given Fortaleza's 0.4 GA avg and Ceara's recent scoring struggles, a 0-0 or [score withheld] scoreline at 70' is the high-probability window. Set pieces will be the primary threat for a breakthrough.
