FORTALEZA, Brazil (Interstat) — Fortaleza and Atletico Mineiro will meet for the second time this month Sunday in a Carioca Série A clash at Arena Castelão, just over two weeks after playing to a thrilling 3-3 draw.

The Nov. 12 shootout in Belo Horizonte saw the two sides combine for six goals, setting the stage for a tightly contested rematch. Interstat’s game simulator projects a lower-scoring 1-1 draw for Sunday’s fixture.

Fortaleza (8-5-6) enters the match with momentum, coming off a 1-0 road victory over RB Bragantino on Wednesday. The win was their third in the last four matches, a stretch that includes the high-scoring draw with Atletico Mineiro and a 3-2 win at Bahia.

Atletico Mineiro (6-8-5) seeks consistency after a 1-1 home draw with Flamengo on Tuesday. The result extended their current unbeaten run to two matches, but they have only one win in their last five outings. A 2-0 loss at RB Bragantino on Nov. 16 highlights their recent struggles on the road.

Historically, these teams have been evenly matched, and their recent encounter suggests another competitive affair is likely. Fortaleza will look to leverage its strong home-field advantage, while Atletico Mineiro aims to build on its unbeaten streak and secure a positive result away from home.
