The hosts hold the advantage in this tie, having scored one goal in each half to secure a 2-0 victory in the first leg at Arena Castelao last Wednesday.

Igor Coronado scored from 25 yards with a first-half strike to give Corinthians the lead in the 39th minute, and it seemed like the only goal of the day until Yuri Alberto struck late in the match to hand the Timao a comfortable 2-0 cushion heading into the return leg.

Corinthians have reached this stage in three of their last four appearances in this tournament and have progressed on the previous occasions, looking set to do so again this time around.

More encouraging for Ramon Diaz’s side will be the fact that they have never lost at home against Fortaleza, winning seven and drawing five of 12 such matches.

Corinthians have also remained unbeaten in their last 12 home matches across all competitions, drawing seven and winning five, including the last three – the most recent of these was a 3-0 victory over Atletico Goianiense in a Brazilian Serie A game on Saturday.

However, after winning all home matches during the group stage while scoring 11 goals and conceding none, Corinthians lost to Bragantino on home soil in the round of 16, and will be wary of becoming complacent on Wednesday.

Fortaleza failed to respond after going behind in the first half, but Juan Pablo Vojvoda would be more disappointed that his side conceded the second late in the game, making the task even tougher in the second leg.

It was the first home defeat for Fortaleza in the tournament this season, having won all four home matches prior to the loss to Corinthians last time out.

While Leao do Pici have secured the most home wins in this competition, they have won just once in four away matches so far, offering little hope of a potential comeback.

Fortaleza bounced back from the first-leg defeat with a 4-1 victory in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday – a result they will hope inspires them to a comeback on Wednesday.

However, Vojvoda’s side have only won once in this competition against a fellow Brazilian side, beating Internacional at home last year in the round of 32 by a 1-0 score.

Corinthians vs. Fortaleza Head to head

In the previous 25 meetings between these two teams, Corinthians have claimed 13 victories while Fortaleza have won six, and they have drawn in six. Fortaleza have scored 20 goals and conceded 37 in the process.
