Fortaleza vs Libertad Prediction: Team News, Line-Ups, & Form
Fortaleza:
Fortaleza scored inside the opening 20 minutes in the first leg and this was enough to see them edging the game 1-0. The Brazilians defended well and hardly allowed their hosts any spaces all match.
Coach Vojvoda will hope for more of the same in the return fixture of this round of 16 tie. The gaffer opted to rest 7 of those that started against Libertad on Saturday and this explains why Fortaleza lost 0-1 vs Goias in the domestic league.
With no serious injuries to worry about and no suspensions now Vojvoda is likely to pick the same lineup he used last week in Paraguay.
Predicted Line-Up:
Ricardo (GK), Tinga, Britez, Titi, Pacheco, Welison, Alexandre, Crispim, Pikachu, Lucero & Guilherme
Libertad:
Libertad are yet to score in August. After losing the first leg 0-1 they played out a boring 0-0 draw in the league vs General Caballero. In both those matches the absence of some key creative players showed. Cardozo has been receiving very little service lately.
Libertad remain without the services of the long-term absentees Merlini and Bareiro. Both are regular starters when fit. Also, the creative playmaker Hugo Martinez has muscle problems and he is considered touch-and-go.
Predicted Line-Up:
Silva (GK), Piris, Viera, Barboza, Gimenez, Caballero, Sanabria, Campuzano, Gonzalez, Cardozo & Melgarejo
Starting Fortaleza vs Libertad Lineups:
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Fortaleza EC
Libertad Asuncion
Player to Watch: Titi
Fortaleza's 35-year-old centre-back Titi has been their rock at the back all season. With Fortaleza using very defensive tactics Titi's role becomes even more important. The powerful defender was the most dominant player on the pitch in the first game. We expect to see more of the same from him now.
