Classico-Rei is one of the biggest derbies in Brazilian football. The rivalry is between Fortaleza and Ceara, the two most supported clubs in the city of Fortaleza. The game will be played in front of sixty-three thousand people, at the phenomenal Castelao stadium. The two teams share the bottom of the table, being last and the second-last placed sides in the league. This is a terrible start to the season for Fortaleza, who finished fourth last year, getting an opportunity to play in the famous Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent to the UEFA Champions League. Ceara was also awarded international football, as an eleventh-place finish put them in the Copa Sudamericana, which is the second most prestigious club tournament in South America. Both teams are doing great in their continental campaigns, reaching the playoff stage.
Fortaleza will be the host of this match, coming from a 1-1 draw vs. Juventude. They lost just one of the previous seven home matches, even getting a 1-1 result vs. River Plate on this ground. Juan Pablo Vojvoda's men struggle to play well offensively, scoring only four goals after seven league rounds. For the upcoming duel, the hosts will miss Titi, Tinga, Matheus, Renato Kayzer, and Hercules. On the other side, Ceara goes into the meeting without eight players, those being Fernando Sobral, Bruno Pacheco, Jael, Leo Rafael, Geovane, Steven Mendoza, Rodrigo Lindoso, and Vina.
Ceara comes from a 2-2 draw against Sao Paulo. Struggling with injuries, it is a doubt if the guests' head coach Dorival Junior can find a proper starting eleven to face the club's biggest rival. In games like this, the forms of the teams don't quite matter, with both squads expected to play with their hearts. The last game between these two sides ended in a tie, 1-1 in February. Fortaleza is without a win in the previous three games vs. Ceara, and I expect them to finally get a triumph, and the important three points. Good luck!

classic - rei是巴西足球界最大的德比之一。这场竞争发生在福塔莱萨和塞亚拉之间,这是福塔莱萨最受支持的两家俱乐部。这场比赛将在壮观的卡斯特劳体育场举行,有6.3万名观众观看。这两支球队并列积分榜的最后一名和第二名。对于上赛季排名第四的福塔莱萨来说,这是一个糟糕的赛季开始,他获得了参加著名的解放者杯(相当于南美的欧冠)的机会。塞亚拉还获得了国际足球奖项,因为他们以第11名的成绩参加了南美杯,这是南美洲第二大最负盛名的俱乐部赛事。两支球队都在欧洲大陆的征战中表现出色,进入了季后赛阶段。
福塔莱萨将是这场比赛的东道主,他们1-1战平了尤文图德。在之前的7场主场比赛中,他们只输掉了一场,甚至在这里与河床队取得了1比1的成绩。胡安-巴勃罗-伏伊伏达的球队在进攻端表现不佳,联赛七轮过后只打进4球。在即将到来的决斗中,东道主将错过蒂蒂、廷加、马休斯、雷纳托·凯泽和赫拉克勒斯。另一方面,塞亚拉缺席了8名球员,他们分别是费尔南多-索布拉尔、布鲁诺-帕切科、雅艾尔、里奥-拉斐尔、吉奥凡、史蒂文-门多萨、罗德里戈-林多索和维纳。
塞亚拉是在2-2战平圣保罗的比赛中出场的。在伤病的困扰下,客队主教练小多里瓦尔能否找到合适的首发11人来面对俱乐部最大的竞争对手还是个疑问。在这样的游戏中,球队的形式并不重要,两支球队都应该用心比赛。在今年2月的最后一场比赛中,双方以1比1的比分打平。福塔莱萨在前三场对阵塞亚拉的比赛中没有赢过一场,我希望他们最终能取得胜利,获得重要的三分。好运!
