Football Bet of the Day: Back Fortaleza to silence the Rooster

• Fortaleza won 12 in a row at home
  

• Visitors lost last 2 on the road

• Back hosts to extend their winning run
  

Fortaleza v Atletico MG
Thursday 01:45

In Switzerland last night, the hosts got their first point of the Nations League as they held our Danes to a 2-2 draw.

With the international break coming to an end in Europe, we've come to South America to catch one of tonight's two games in Brazil's top-flight Serie A. Third-placed Fortaleza are riding high on the back of a formidable home record that they are favourites to extend against mid-table Atletico Mineiro...

Fortaleza have won each of their last 12 Serie A home games. They've conceded just four times during that long run.

In contrast, Atletico have leaked five goals in their last two road trips alone, which saw them lose to a couple of other teams currently above them in the table (3-0 at seventh-placed Bahia then 2-1 at second-placed Palmeiras). They are now W0-D1-L3 visiting teams above them in the table. Going up against the strongest home side in the league tonight, we'll take them to fall short once more.
